Quote:Be thankful you had the strength to get through it. I had a stretch a few years back where I lost both my grandfathers, got a divorce and got passed over for a great mentoring program at work. But I came out of it with joint custody of my children and ended up with a better job. Going through it sucks but you come out a stronger person.

After thinking about this post for a bit, i think after everything was said and done with everything that happened, I became a very bitter person towards people and life in general. Hate was a very dominate emotion in my mind set for a couple of years. Not saying its right, just saying it happened. I felt belittled, embarrassed, enraged and alone. In all honesty, I felt my life was over.. That's the point where I created the strength to pick myself back up, give the world a huge middle finger and laugh in the face of adversity. I kinda still have that same mind set, but I'm slowly starting to realize that there's more to life than what I originally thought. I created that strength..
