I am strong enough to carry my burdens in silence, on my own terms. I don't like bothering anyone else with them if it's not absolutely necessary. Of course I still struggle every now and then, but I know there's always a counter balance. I'm well the vast majority of the time. Conquering demons isn't about repelling them permanently. That's a battle you can't win sometimes. You can stop yourself from losing, though, as long as you continue to fight. I pray that all of us will be able to do so.
