In more accurate words, it’s completely consumed him and it’s to the point where it’s just something he has to do.

Similar to my favorite film, it drives home that sometimes bad things happen to us that we can’t control. It’s up to us to deal with it in the best way we can: by moving forward.]]> 2022-12-22 00:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/oliviammullinix/dp8i29xcg8oh8u39/wish/2427068536
