The power and strength that one has is truly unrevealing until trouble arises, as I and many have quoted, I never had the luxury of being weak. What does this statement really mean? Too often we refer to people as being very strong and strong willed. However, did you know those people are actually the most vulnerable in regard to having this reputation, everyone naturally assumes they don't need help, or they can manage, also because naturally people like this hide their pain so sometimes, they are viewed as someone that shouldn't even be considered and all too often are taken advantage of. What I have found is that in these people there is a breaking point. Many might say this applies to all people, well OK and true, but with individuals like this the breaking point is different, you see they tend to hold things longer, and give more of themselves until nothing is left, giving in hopes that indeed it will heal them in the process, all too often this doesn't happen, what does happen is they find themselves to be an empty shell after a while. Alone confused wondering why, creating self-blame which further diminishes them as people.
