"There will be a time, not so far from now, that you will look back on 
this phase of your life and instead of condemning it or beating up on 
it... Instead of blaming or guilting, you will feel appreciation for it,
 because you will understand that a renewed desire for life was born out
 of this time period that will bring you to physical heights that you 
could not have achieved without the contrast that gave birth to this 
desire."
