Avoiding cliches that tell us about the brutality of life isn't the smartest thing to do. It challenges and tests everyone in their own way, some way more than others. And I can see and feel and empathise with you... through your words. But I can not understand.

What I know for a fact, however, is that these people, yourself included, that life breaks again and again, and tests to the limits, are warriors. They're fighters, they sustain, they love harder, they care deeper, and they value everything more. Either that or they give in. You clearly did not. And I don't know you, your friends, your family, your life... but I can easily say that I feel proud in this moment. You emerged stronger, and you will remain one of the strongest people I know of. X
