maybe I had to relapse
to realize just how much I wanted
to recover
maybe I had to live through
all those crises
to realize how much
I wanted to live
maybe it took looking
right at the end of everything
to realize how much I wanted to continue
maybe there was a purpose
in all that pain

- Comment from author about the poem: I have figured out that the mental health journey is not a linear one. The worst moments are now the ones I value the most for their teaching and life-shaping moments.
