This piece is about the struggle to rise above things that we can’t control. When we’ve exhausted all means of solving a problem and the only remaining option is to just walk away. The panic of being trapped in an impossible situation is lifted by the realization that we can still control ourselves, our actions and reactions, even though we can’t control the people around us. The piece is also about appreciating things after they are gone. Everything good has an ending in life, as does life itself. But if we can look back on the things we’ve done and the people we’ve touched along the way, and still appreciate all of the love and happiness that life has given, it makes all of the pain and hardship seem worth it.
