Do you believe that no matter what life throws at you, you'll be able to handle it?

I know a good fighter who kept punching back as live was throwing shit at her, you know. Sometimes I would think this time she's not coming back up but she always would. One time I visited her in jail I was 14, she looked at me strong yet caring. She said, have you eaten anything today. I thought that was the most insane thing someone would say in her situation! She's in jail but worries if I ate anything?!. I couldn't take it. I lost it. I weeped for her. I cried like a baby. I cried because one of us had to. It was my mom.
