And then, despite everything, I smiled and looked at the note and knew that spring would come –it always does. so I stared out that cold window, watching my breath collect on the glass, trying not to think about my life after the thaw.

About This Quote

This phrase means that despite all the hardships, difficulties and pain you must endure, think of the good things in life and the beauty that exists. This is about the beauty that life has to offer us. What makes our life beautiful is that it can be beautiful even when there are injustices and hardships. It is important to remember that life goes on after the thaw.

We all know how it feels to stare out at a cold window in winter, watch your breath collect on the glass, watch the world grow dark and cold around you. But there is always spring, even if not in our lives right now. Life goes on.
