There’s a phrase we’ve all heard: “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.” It’s been quoted in songs, speeches, and stories of survival. But it hits different when you’ve lived through something that could have broken you. Let me tell you something—strength isn’t just about bouncing back. It’s about choosing not to be defined by the worst thing that happened to you. It’s about getting up not because you're unhurt—but because you still have purpose.
