The Field of Wrongdoing Quotes

“Grief is seasonal. Disbelief comes and goes, and leaves an aching pit of sadness for you to somehow carry around while you smile and nod and pretend you're not dead inside.
Grief is useless. It's like drowning in a sea of your own despair because you won't grab on to the rope being offered to you. So you let yourself be sucked under, you let the rough waters invade your nose and your mouth and your ears and your eyes until your dead on the inside, hollowed out, a walking corpse. Grief makes you weak.
But rage...rage is useful. It is the tiny seed that sprouts inside you and spreads like tendrils on a vine. It weaves itself around your veins, sticks in its barbs, and reminds you that you are still alive. It burns in your blood, that blood passes through your heart, and over time you fill up your hollow with something else. Rage....And purpose.”
