Whenever I've survived something most think I would capitulate under the pressure of, they don't ever change their ways or admit they were wrong to do and say what they did. Quite the contrary. They become more frustrated that I survived and went on to thrive at all.
And that, dear friends, is why there's nothing anyone can do to stop me from being the fantastic individual that I am. My detractors don't have the minerals to kill me and, at best, illness like cancer or a major depressive episode only slows me down.
I always persevere.
