surviving comes easy when our dreams are strongest is a glimpse into the anxiety, self-doubt, and complexities of relationships that accompany existence. With aging parents and the notion I will one day inherit my family’s property, I reflect on the weight of my internal struggles and the cyclical nature of being, wondering if my flaws are something I also inherit and if they are something I can escape or survive. The book overall seeks to find meaning in fleeting moments of clarity and authenticity in an ambiguous world.
