Meaning
This reads as a blunt statement about survival, grief, and self-acceptance. It can be taken to mean that hardship is not being hidden or polished away, and that loss is part of the person speaking, not a deviation from them. The line lands when someone chooses to speak plainly about pain, especially in public rather than in private.
