When I grew and became stronger from EVERYTHING that was meant to break me. I may bend but I'll never break!

When sh!t that really should've killed me only made me stronger and more determined.

I know it's cliche, but it's the truth.

When I hit transition during labor and even though it literally felt like I was being ripped from the inside out, I still knew I would have my babies with no pain meds.

And when I kicked the nurse during a cervical check and she fell backwards and looked scared :unsure:

When I was broken down by an abusive relationship, but picked myself up and began to thrive.

It's been a journey but I feel like a new person, I've moved on from the pain and trauma into an optimism for life that can't be tamed

With the help of the Most High God himself, because I was a people pleasing twit 15 years ago. Now, I don't allow anyone to abuse me in any kind of way. I know how to walk away, I know which battles to stay and fight. I know to mourn and wallow for a split second, but then the next day, you get over it and move on. Don't give no one the satisfaction of seeing your reactions.

Once you get through the dozens of break the cutie moments, you will realize you are stronger than you think. I'm proud to say that I'm no longer a pushover idealist who thinks everyone has good in them.

Oh and I stop caring what other people say or thought about me, including family members. My life on this earth is not suppose to be according to their blessed will.

I kicked her HARD. I didn’t mean to. It was a reaction because I was in the middle of an extremely painful contraction and the cervical check was so painful that I just kicked. I screamed in pain so loudly that my husband who was doing something down the hall heard me and came running in my room because he thought something was wrong!!

Day to day, I am not in situations in which I’m required to be a strong person. However fortunately, when situations occur where I HAVE TO BE STRONG, It’s not fun, but I am able to rise to the occasion.

I was into Stoicism for a while, but I’m not trying to create uncomfortable situations to “prime me” to be strong. For those of us who are fortunate enough to live comfortable lives. I don't believe in taking it for granted. Enjoy it now, and when (or if ) hard times come, deal with it then. Given any circumstances, we are always stronger than we know.

Lord where do I begin......
I’ve been verbally and physically abused for a majority of my life. I’m the only one in my family to graduate from college without any help, I’ve been sick to the point of dying and managed to recover. I’ve been nowhere and still ended up somewhere

I think in a lot of ways I'm still discovering how strong of a person I am. I sacrificed my childhood and early adult years helping take care of my grandmom, after my grandfather died. She took care of me and I returned the favor, without hesitation or question. We became best friends.

In 2013, my mother had just recovered from an injury and having one of her breast removed because of cancer. She was doing well, and one day things changed. She went for what should've been a routine checkup, but turned into her last days on earth. Not even 2-3 weeks later, I had to see her laying lifeless and unrecognizable in a hospital bed. A day or two later, she was gone.

My grandmother never got over that loss. A year later, she had become so sick, that cancer took her life. I couldn't even bare looking her body being removed from the house. I couldn't even find the courage to attend her funeral, because emotionally, I knew it would be too much for me to handle.

From that point on, I had to live life on my own for the first time. To this day, I have grieved, but I have not cried for everyone I've lost. I had to be strong enough to go into my grandmother's room and begin clearing it out, going through her things, and getting everything sorted for donation. I had to learn how to be strong enough to live in this world without my mom and grandmother by my side. To this day, I'm still learning.

Every day is an emotional test for me. I have to go on living life without the people who raised me, the people who loved me, and the people who brought me into this world. I'm getting emotional, so let me just finish up by saying that whether we realize it or not, we are a lot stronger than we know, no matter what any of us have been through.

When I didn't take crap from my dad and stood my ground at 8 yo. He could have beat me bad but he didn't and it happened often. Something in me made stand up to his BS. He hated me... He didn't come to my college graduation and I didn't invite him to my wedding. Something just made me stand my ground with him when he could have harmed me. I still don't know how I did that so young but ever since i've been strong mentally. It takes a toll on me though. I find myself losing that strength sometimes.
