SURVIVOR

"Survivor" isn't about dramatic triumph. It's about the quieter courage: getting up each day, carrying on, finding moments of joy despite grief, choosing to remain soft in a hard world.

This piece is for everyone who's had to be strong when they wanted to break, who held their community together while falling apart inside, who survived and then had to figure out how to actually live.
