The Blood & The Bones

They ask me how I became so unbreakable…

And I tell them..

Everything that made me comfortable made me weak. Every time I told myself I could not bear the weight I became weaker.

One day I realized that harder times would just keep coming. So, I felt that I must force myself into the icy waters of life to build my resolve. I needed to go forward into discomfort to know just how bad the pain could be in order to know how much I could take.

Once you know what you can endure no one can take that power from you.

You don’t become strong from smooth sailing. You must weather the storms to truly become a ship that won’t sink. So we learn how to walk on broken glass, to take every hit and rise up again, to go without and to go hungry so that may become the warriors we are capable of being.
