The strongest people refuse to let what happened to them win... Even when life gave them every single reason to do so. They've been hurt enough to know how pain multiplies. They had to carry things they never learned how to explain. Indeed, bitterness would have been easier. Coldness would have made sense. But instead, they learned that's not the right way. To feel without spilling it onto others. They saw how pain travels, and decided it ends with them. They're the ones who had every reason to become dangerous, but chose to become a safe place.
