Very powerful. Studying the introductory monologue for drama and read it first as inspiring and uplifting, and while it is those things the story itself is very grim. Even though it gets gradually more dark it stays true to its message that we are capable of good and bad and there is power in our stories no matter how mundane they feel in the moment. Wow.
