once you turn 20 you have to fight everyday for the rest of your life to not lose your personality & spirit...bc what once came naturally to you will be exhausted into nothing if you don't actively Try. it's terrifyingly easy to become a lethargic, soulless adult
At 28, Dostoevsky was dragged before a firing squad, spared at the final second, and exiled to four years of hard labor in Siberia. Surrounded by brutal cold and severe illness, he lost his entire youth, but he never lost his spirit. Instead, those dark years forged his deepest wisdom and compassion for human nature. He went on to write Crime and Punishment at 45 and completed The Brothers Karamazov at 59.
No season of suffering is wasted. Yes, you can start all over again.
