This is, for me, a most relatable piece of writing; it explains, in a way, how to find a grain of optimism in the destruction of the structures that both formed us and harbored our dreams. When they disappear, or disappoint, we must move on. I struggled with melancholy for many years due to this. Now the belief that I will be remembered eternally by someone whose life was touched by mine is essentially the only purpose. Otherwise it's all comes down to the uncountable loads of laundry.
