I can't speak for anyone else, but i believe it. I am a strong person inside because of the things I have survived. After giving it many times of thought, I decided I would rather not change my past (hospitalizations and all) because each event has contributed to who I am; and I have been told there is a core of strength in me that is unusually strong. And anyway, just telling myself that helps me get through the hardest times of all.
