One of my close friend said that I have this trait; resilient. “Meriel, you are resilient as fuck. Whatever it is you will always rebuild and you will be stronger because of it. I have seen you go through awful things and it always amazes me how you always come out of it better, more beautiful and somehow not as cynical as most would be.”

I just realized—now that I look back to my past—yes, I am that tough. At least I believe that I am that tough. I am so grateful to have someone who can remind me of this kind of thing- reminding me how beautiful human being I can be.
