A different perspective

[arewethereyet]

No one knows how much they can endure until they are in the position of having to endure something.

I had no idea how much misery and fear and physical pain I would endure when going through breast cancer...it was brutal.  There were days when I didn't know if I could take another day...but I did.  Thirteen years later I still have days of intense pain.  And yet, here I am, primed for another day.  It may be a good day like today and it might suck majorly.

My heart attack was a walk in the park compared to what I'd already been through.

'Course being beaten on the regular when growing up taught me to deal with pain.

Bob Marley Quote: “You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.”

With all due respect, my little survivor, how are you not an empty husk of suffering by now? What's your secret?

I don't see how being an 'empty husk of suffering' would do me a damn bit of good. I am a survivor, always have been. It comes from within.

I refuse to give up. It's really that simple.
