Life Quote by Nicole Sobon
““I slumped down against the wall and pulled my knees up beneath my chin. “Sometimes it just feels as though we’re fighting for nothing; as though all of this is nothing more than a never ending cycle of pain.” “But isn’t that all life is?’ Grant countered. “A never ending cycle of pain that we learn to maneuver? Isn’t it all about finding the tiniest bits of happiness, and making something out of them? I mean, life will never be perfect. It’s meant to have its ups and downs. You just have to learn to make it worthwhile, even when it feels as though the world itself is collapsing around you.””
