phoenix.
noun. a unique bird that lived for five or six centuries in the Arabian desert, after this time burning itself on a funeral pyre and rising from the ashes with renewed youth to live through another cycle.
the legend of the phoenix has always been fascinating.
it burns to ashes and then rises.
i like to think of life kinda like that. life constantly sets people on fire. everywhere you turn you can find so many negativities with the world. broken hearts, anger, sadness, violence, frustration, hopelessness is everywhere. nevertheless, you cannot let yourself stay in ash form--all burnt out, barely tangible.
you must rise.
