I think it's not just about becoming stronger, it's becoming more aware, knowing in your heart that it's not gonna change, expecting the pain that's heading your way. When you're prepared for it, it will pass over you, and even rereading old conversations that tore you to bits before will leave you only mildly disturbed. It takes time, but you accept, you heal, you grow, you put out new shoots, you hug the ground harder and reach higher, your foundations are strong and you can grow tall
