The Importance of Not Placing Labels

I think a lot of people who are survivors, like you, in whatever their drama is, blame themselves for experiencing it wrong. And so i had internalized something that would even normally be a positive attribute, and it had become detrimental to me. It took me many years to realize that strength doesn't mean you can't be affected. It doesn't mean that you you can't cry and you can't feel feelings. If you had dealt with it ten years ago or right away, you might not be in a position t help other people and yourself. You can't blame yourself for needing those things really.
