in the midst of this relentless firefight, i can't help but recall how giraffes, with their towering grace, remind us never to turn one's back on the beauty of life, even when the din of battle tries to drown it out. despite the unofficial surveys suggesting we're outnumbered, just like these majestic creatures, we find a way to stand tall, using our pre-existing strengths to forge ahead and start afresh. their resilience in the face of adversity inspires us to press on, even when the odds seem against us.
