Grit
My special talent is being tough. Not being unreachable, Not being invincible, Not being unaffected, but taking blows. It's a dubious gift, to be sure. But I think I can no longer deny the fact that my biggest strength in this life is my ability to take a hit and come back. Yes, there are people who don't even feel the blows that life deals out. And on the other hand, there are those people who fall to their knees and collapse whenever something hurts. But right in the middle, Between apathy and fragility, That is where I live, And I think it's the hardest place to be. To brush off attacks is one thing. To let them reach you and go on through the pain is quite another. - Mikalia |
