Meaning
This reads as a sober acceptance of difficulty, with a quiet insistence that hardship can still leave something valuable behind. It can be taken to mean that pain is not the opposite of meaning, but one of the ways meaning is earned. It lands for someone looking back on losses and noticing that what hurt them also changed them.
