Pain
 
  I don't think pain is a weakness. I know for a fact everybody will feel pain sometime in their lives. It is how you handle it that shows if you are weak or strong. I understand everyone handles pain differently but if all you do is dwell on the pain you will never get past it. Crying in front of people to me is a major sign of weakness. To me personally that is the biggest way of breaking. It's different to tell someone you trust why you are hurting then to break down and cry. I understand the worst of pain, believe me. But you have to learn to deal with it yourself. That is how you know if you are strong or weak. When you can keep to yourself and fix things on your own. That shows strength. It shows that you don't need anybody at all times because in all reality nobody will ever 100% always be there for you. Sometimes it will be you against the world. I'm not being harsh, I'm being honest. People will always take care of themselves before other people. That's just how life is though. So if you can get through that pain all by yourself you are strong. Pain is the realist of feelings. Pain can take down the strongest people and turn them into something they're not. Pain makes you realize so many things. The best thing pain has taught me is to not care at all. Not caring leaves you less chances of getting hurt.
