Anyone who's spoken to me in person or at any length online will know I utterly adore the movie and the book The Long Walk by Stephen King.
One particular moment (quoted below) stood out to me, it's something I've been thinking about for a long time but haven't been able to put into words. It resonated with me.
I always try and find something beautiful every single day, today it was a spider making its web, a robin asleep in a hedgerow and the sheer amount of toads I pick up off the road this evening.
"You know, so at that moment, I said I’ll always choose to find sunlight in all this fucking darkness.
‘Cause what’s the point of a second chance if not?
Ray, you think this shit is easy?
Huh? No, Ray, it’s fucking hard!
I try fucking hard.
If you make this, if…
I suggest you choose love."
