'What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.' Do you agree or disagree? Why?
I wandered having to think on something I had heard
"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger"
My brow furrowed as I tried to fathom the meaning behind it. It nagged me all throughout the day then as I had just fallen asleep it hit me. It was true at least in my world and my life.
So much had happened on so many levels. Losing my mother made me stronger in the long run, made me wish to protect people better. To be a better Jedi so I could prevent things like what happened to her.
Losing myself to Palpatine's manipulations made my will stronger. Sounds strange yes, but knowing I could trust someone that completely and have them just be using me for their own purposes made me see the world in a new light. I was too trusting, too naive, and that made me weak. What he did changed that, made me a stronger person.
Coming near death on Mustafar in the lava, the fire that had covered my body even that made me stronger. Made me realize in the end I was capable of losing everything. It made me stronger in that in that moment as I thought I was finally going to die I thought back on everything, I saw the truth and promised if I lived I'd right all the wrongs that I could.
Everything bad that had happened, it didn't kill me, but it did make me a stronger person in the end. Prepared me for my life now.
