The Bittersweet Reality

A single, potent thought:

It is the quiet acceptance that the most beautiful flowers often have the sharpest thorns, and that you have held both the bloom and the prick. There is no going back to the garden before you knew this truth, only the choice to continue tending it with the deeper wisdom of sorrow and joy entwined. The sweetness comes from the memory of the light; the bitterness from the knowledge of its eventual fading. This is not a state of loss, but of profound, melancholic richness.
