Someone asked me how they can be strong too. They said no matter what life throws at me, I always get back up. After this, I sat and thought. They then said that they wish they could do that too. 

I told them you don't want to walk in my shoes. I've been through a lot. Which is why I am the way I am today. They sat there with a smile just listening. I went on to say that you make yourself strong. Dont let what you went through define you. Get up. Start again. Try again. Keep going. Dont let anyone tell you different. You make you. 

This person is a teenager and faces a lot of problems. Mental health and others. This person is a sweet kid. He's my nephew.
