“So what are the politics of heartbreak? How do we go on, in this? How do all of us–even those of us who mostly do well, because we all have these times–how do we deal with living in a world that does such damage to us?
How do we scrub away at the tears and keep on going, even while the hammer falls on our hearts, over and over and over? Make important decisions, or any decisions at all? Because, by and large, somehow, we do. Somehow we’re still here, and still fighting, even if it’s just fighting to tread water.”
–Little Light, writing very movingly at Taking Steps about challenges, struggles and keeping on.
