Stronger.

I guess recently I've been coming to terms with some things that have happened to me. Things that I have no control over.
And I've just realized something.
These things will always be a part of me. A painful and very real part of me. They won't disappear or go away. I just have to learn how to cope with them always being there.
Because you can't change the past, or the things that others have done to you. You can only learn to accept them as they come, and hope that you don't snap under the weight of all the things you're carrying.
But with every thing that is added to the load you carry, you become a little bit stronger. The load you carry today is much larger than the load you carried a year ago.
Look how far you've come.
