“A crap upbringing doesn't make someone weak, it makes them strong or how else could they get through it.”

“You’re never going to be strong by making someone else weak.”

“Needing someone doesn't make you weak, it makes you feel. And feeling is how you know you're alive. -Jack Reacher”

“Submission doesn't mean weakness; it means exploring your wants and desires and being strong enough to give control of yourself to someone else.”

“You can’t make a weak man strong by making a strong man weak”

“No matter what challenges or obstacles we experience, we must make a CHOICE to become better or bitter because of it. Will and pray your way through it. In my opinion, the difference between those who are considered strong and those who are seen as weak are what they DECIDE to focus on. But, having down moments don't make someone weak, it makes them human. We wouldn't be human if we don't "feel", but at some point we MUCH force ourselves to get up!”
