Around my neck, i bear a small silver cross. Those who know me, and are close to me, know how i came to acquire this cross, know the melancholic story behind this small silver cross of mine. The people close to me know why i can't lose it, why i keep it on me at almost all times. They know it's a reminder, but it's a reminder in two ways. It's a melancholic reminder, when i let it be, but it's also a reminder of why i want to get stronger, why i want to be there for the people i love, why i can't give up, even when this life kicks me down. This cross, is a reminder of my goal, my purpose. This cross drives me forward, almost as much as the people i love drive me forward.
