The cover shines in the light,
the pages soft and smooth,
the indescribable smell of an untouched book,
the pleasure of turning that first page.
Then the cover is scratched,
the pages wrinkled;
it no longer smells of a new book,
but your backpack;
turning that last page is not the same,
but, in a way,
better.

When something bad happens you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you, or you can let it strengthen you.
