Do you feel like your life's challenges have shaped you or drained you?

Stronger mentally and weaker physically. Maybe age has caught up to me too. I'm grateful for thr challenges as it's shaped me into the woman I am today. I'm sure more are to come, but that's life.

Both. As I've aged, it's more draining. Probably why we prefer solitude more.

Some of both. Some bigs hits the last couple years, but I'm on my feet and standing my ground.

I'm stronger for having faced the challenges, but the immediate impact was often draining.

Honestly, both. Some days I feel like steel, other days like I’m just tired metal, bent but still holding. 💪

Shaped me.
I've never felt stronger in my life.

A bit of both but it's all a learning experience

Both

Definitely shaped me. I bend, but I don't break.

Honestly a bit of both.

No challenges worth mentioning - I've had it pretty damn good (compared to millions of others these past decades).

Drained at the time, shaped when looking back.

Bit of both

Most definitely both, Roy.

Shaped. Tempered.

Necessarily both

Drained, then eventually shaped
