If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
- Rene Descartes

My dad taught me that.

As tough as it is to doubt sometimes, knowing that it's a necessary part of the process makes it easier to take... and also reminds me that there is light at the end of the tunnel. No matter how dry the desert, somewhere there's an oasis.

And that oasis is amazing.
