diamonds

you can reshape the world you live in with enough effort and pain – as long as you don’t destroy yourself in the process. you can become something great. but the margin is thin and the odds are stacked against you in every way.

diamonds are created under extreme pressure and heat. they’re special because they’re rare — the rarity resulting from most being destroyed during their creation. it takes luck for diamonds to come into existence but when they do they live forever. it will take luck for me as well.
