"'It will be alright.'

He does not mean that it will not hurt. He does not mean that we are not frightened. Only that we are here. This is what it means to swim in the tide, to walk the earth and feel it touch your feet. This is what it means to be alive."


Absolutely stunning. The brutal beauty and pain of this story and this character's life is heartbreaking, but so gorgeously, gorgeously drawn.
