He had always believed the world was a cold, hateful place.Every time he tried to stand it seemed as if a new dam of horrors would crack open on top of him threatening to wash him completely away this time. He believed that the world was trying to break him and some days the weight of the awfulness done to him or his family almost did crush him, but in those moments is when he truly saw his strengths.
As much as he wanted to he just had no quit in him, oh somedays he wanted to, those days when his heart felt as if it shattered to pieces, or just stopped beating entirely.But, even then the embers of hope remained inside him waiting to be kindled back into a bonfire, of light and energy, that allowed him to grow even stronger after each time that flame looked to be extinguished.He evolved each time gaining a new experience that he could now use to help others, he knew of hardship and the unfairness of life, he knew of joy and the beauty in a life hard fought for.He realized he had something backwards life hadn't been trying to extinguish him, and even if it did it failed in doing so.
Each challenge he faced along the way hadn't taken anything from him, they had just in fact added to him like a new log on a dying flame forcing him to burn brighter. He learned over time you couldn't burn that fiercely without risking pain, sorrow, and frustration. He knew all these to intimately they may well have been as lovers to him, comforting and familiar, they threatened to put his flame out which would surely kill him just as well as a bullet to the head. So like his spirit animal he decided to shake off the ashes of these unhelpful feelings and begin again reborn even stronger and so bright people would know why he was called fahrenheit
