I once heard someone say your past goes with your name and it was strange
I know for me that will not be the case because that phrase is going to change

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.

I found this really inspring. Your poem helped me now; right now, I'm going through a hard time, something that's inside me. And all I can say is this is really inspring, full of meaning, and...your poem helped me. Thank you for helping me, and thank you for sharing this.
