makes you stronger

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger; so true yet so false. I play with this thought way more than its considered normal. Life happens in everyone's life and not two people react to an incident the same way. It is only ideal to learn from your mistakes and carry on, trying not to make any of those mistakes but how many of us do it? Its one of those things that is so easy to preach but excruciatingly hard to practice. The truth is that the thought might not even apply to all situations. Sometimes things go wrong even if you have given your all and have tried hard to come with perfect results. You cry and moan and look for the spot where you made the doo doo so that you can fix it but you have to understand that ITS NOT ALWAYS YOUR FAULT. All I can say from my personal experience is screaming and crying and just laying there taking up space without doing anything does help soothe for the time being but in the long run, you gotta take charge and spit in the face of time. You gotta quit beating and blaming yourself. Some people that you absolutely care about might give up on you and you might be left alone to clean up your perceived mess but you gotta be the boss of you and the boss of the situation and come up with a more kick-ass plan cause god helps those who help themselves. Keep fighting cause after all what doesn't kill you might make you stronger.
