Strength is described to me on a daily basis more times than I can count, from person to person, online, in books, movies scripts, whether directly or more commonly, indirectly. I’m constantly looking for an answer to what true mental strength is. I am told it can be getting out of bed every morning with a smile when you are depressed. Strength has been described to me as spilling your heart to someone, or making a slight change in your daily life. I have been told strength comes from the heart, comes from the soul, and comes from the mind, to which I see no difference. With every fictitious act of mental strength that has been painted in words for me to evaluate, I see the opposite. This is why I believe I am not made of will and power, determination and strength, but faults and breaking points. I myself have no definition of strength, yet I feel I should formulate my own words on the matter, rather than be fed quotes I read every day.
