Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.”
Of course I don’t mean “literally” – but more about your resolve to survive.
During the YOTD (Year of the Divorce), I thought there were plenty of things that were going to kill me, at least my spirit.
It’s been 9 years since my divorce. Many of those days I wanted to crawl into a tight ball and just die. It was never so dark that I wanted to end my life, but I did understand how people sometimes just want to go to sleep and never wake up. Reality sucks at times.
The further I get away from it, the stronger I realize I have become. I would not be the person I am today if it were not for the experiences I was put through with divorce and having to make my own way through this world.
It didn’t kill me and it did make me stronger. Not the route I would have chosen to get here – but we don’t always get to choose, do we? What we do get to choose is how we deal with it – and that my friends is what makes us stronger for it.
