I'm just a regular person, nothing and nobody extraordinary, living an unextraordinary life. Survivor to me implies a sort of nobility, that you've made good out of the very, very bad and come out a better person for it. I can't say that I've made good or bad out of anything -- I just am. What happened, happened; what is, is; and I wake up every morning and do what I'm supposed to do, and so what? How does that make me a survivor? It makes me somebody who continues to breathe in and out on a regular basis. That's how life happens. (Strictly IMO and speaking for myself.)
