STRENGTH IN SIMILARITY

The comment I hear most frequently goes a little like this: “You are so inspirational and strong. I wish I had your strength…” The only thing that makes me stronger than you is that I’m no longer afraid to speak up and admit that I can’t recover alone. The main purpose of sharing my journey so publicly is so you can realize that – rock bottom – black hole – completely hopeless – give up on her – impossible case – it’s too late – situations mean nothing. If you were to have asked me a few years ago I never, ever would have believed my life would be what it is now. So go ahead, tell me I’m inspirational. Tell me I’m strong. But finish your comment with, “And I can have your strength too.” ~Britt
