Growth and evolution are only possible through struggle and hardship.
They are intertwined, inseparable, like a tangled knot that must be unraveled to move forward. The word "passion" is wrought with countless meanings, each one personal and raw.
You know the agony of passion - the agonizing pain of punishment and loss. To love something with all your being, only to have it ripped away or slip through your fingers, leaving you broken and shattered in its wake.
