Experience at Rock Bottom

I believe that anyone who has lived a fairly ordinary life and then hit rock bottom has likely seen the true nature of people along the way.

Falling to the bottom isn’t always a bad thing. It teaches you how unpredictable and fragile human kindness can be—how it shifts from morning to night. You begin to understand the world in ways you couldn’t before. And when you’ve been there, when you’ve felt that depth, words come more easily. Writing flows not from comfort, but from the rawness of experience.
