You are right shakes, it's harder to live them out. I've had a hard time with that as well.
I feel more like a survivor then a victim, I felt like a victim 3 month ago, but not no more I refuse to let the 9 guys win, screw them. I'm tired of them having control over me, and life in general, enough is enough, and I wont step down no matter what.

Never again will I be hurt like that. I wont let it happen.

I know what you mean by saying it to someone being a survivor, I use to always no matter what had a hard time telling myself that. Even if people directly told me that I was, I would belittle it in some way.

But not no more.
