One thing is for sure. Nothing in life is easy or certain. You’ll be fighting until the end. And when you’ve overcome all chaos has to offer, those who had it easy will struggle. By fighting through it, you are giving yourself a skill some just do not have. When the world, and the realm, erupt into chaos, you’ll be the one standing with a sword still in your hand. Be proud of yourself. You’re more of a warrior than you know.

I used to be a pile of rubble, now I’m a castle.

When we feel weak, we drop our heads on the shoulders of others. Don’t get mad when someone does that. Be honored. For that person trusted you enough to, even if subtly, ask you for help.

Most men can't handle a woman forged in fire. They think they can, and as soon as the flames gets too close they keep stepping backwards.But they forget. We are like this for a reason. Throw a few leaves in a fire and it doesn't do much. Throw fuel, and it explodes. Most of us are already ablaze. So, when tending to a fire, be careful.

It is easier to stand in front of a bullet than it is to stand up to the world.

Even in times of trauma, we try to maintain a sense of normality until we no longer can. That, my friends, is called surviving. Not healing. We never become whole again ... we are survivors. If you are here today... you are a survivor. But those of us who have made it through hell and are still standing? We bare a different name: warriors.

Stand up and be counted, or sit your ass in the corner and color.

My integrity refuses to be altered to fit in with what I'm expected or intimidated to believe.

Sometimes standing alone makes you stronger than hiding in a group. When you choose to stand when those close to you are sitting down, it speaks volumes about your integrity and character. It's when those who stand alone come together that the opposite is true.
