There will be so much more in between. So much uncertainty. I don't know if we'll survive the catacombs, let alone the rest of it. But it doesn't matter. For now, these steps are enough. These first few precious steps into darkness. Into the unknown. Into freedom.

About This Quote

In a world filled with uncertainty and darkness, the first step is a baby's first step into the world. It’s a new beginning, a fresh start on every new day. It’s a new chance to try something new and see if it works. In this quote, the author is talking about the uncertainty of new beginnings and of everyday life.

What seemed to be simple at first may become more difficult as you live through each day. The author of the quote is so eager for this new beginning that she doesn't care what happens next or how long it takes to get there.
