About This Quote
Despite all of the hardships in your life, you can still look at the brighter side. You may not be able to see the sun in the sky, but you can still see stars shining brightly in the sky. This is because of how you are holding on. Every time you fall down, it is because of how strong your anchor is. If you are not allowing yourself to get back up, then something bad is going to happen soon.
