I Battle Depression

Today I realized something rather important. An epiphany of sorts, about strength. Strength is an attribute we all admire, desire, contemplate, and strive towards. It is a powerful concept that can be measured in a multitude of ways. Physically, mentally, spiritually, ect. And as often as we talk it up to be some beautiful thing we often overlook what it takes to acquire and maintain it. Strength is simply pain refined, tempering our very being. Strength, no matter what aspect you work towards, is the hardest most difficult struggle you will ever face. It is gained through adversity, through trial by fire. No one person will ever obtain strength by simply being born. Strength is earned and for those of us still alive today, despite all the hardship, despite the wading through oceans of misery and bullshit, we have that strength. Even if you aren't aware of it, you have it. But no matter how strong you are, no matter how much you've endured and fought, remember no one person can take on the weight of the world. Strength, it multiplies in company. It becomes refreshed by others. I suppose what I mean to say by all of this, is YOU are strong, and WE can beat the demons away together.
