The More I Realize is about loss and grief. More specifically it's about the unexpected positive side of these states of being. Loss and grief can trap you, but they can also challenge you to grow in ways you wouldn’t always expect. Life is an ever evolving river of perceptions, emotions, thoughts, and experiences. How you respond and reflect is what counts. - Eric
