Quotes

“That which doesn’t kill my makes me stronger.”

I am on the fence with whether I believe in this quote or not. In ways, I strongly agree with it but in others I can’t help but disagree. I guess it would depend on the situation, the problem and the result. I can recall times where I have become stronger from things that have threatened me and over came it. Although I am a strong independent person, I am more broken on the inside than ever before. I am able to stand my ground and take something useful away from situations and conflicts but it still does chip away at my armor. One of these days I will be a crab without a shell, just the mushy tissue left to dry out in the sun. After every battle you are left with a scar. When will the battles end? Will the scars be my comfort when I can’t fight anymore? Will I be left to bask in the glorious memories of how I attained these physical, emotional and mental scars? No, they will be the very things that torment my tortured soul.
