What is tough? Who are tough? Is it the bullies that are giving you threats? Or is it the fugitives because the escaped jail no matter how many guards are in there and no matter how tall the walls are? No dear, it is not tough, they are not tough. The classrooms and hospitals that witnessed tears of joy and tears of pain are tough, it holds a lot of memories. A writer's hand and pen is what is tough because it writes millions of letters and bunch of phrases every day. A bookshelf is what is tough because it carries heavy books every day; and if you think that life is tough because it keeps on giving you problem, no, you yourself living your life is the one that is tough. You are tough because you chose to laugh, learn and continue growing and living instead of killing yourself because of the hardships and struggles that you are experiencing. Being tough is about doing something great and difficult without complaining, if you are reading/ hearing this out it means you are still alive, I want you to know that you are tough, I want you to tell yourself "I AM TOUGH". Living despite the struggles is being tough.
