    Girl,

    strength, is not hiding your hurt. strength is caring on inspite of it. to continue to love and live eventhough you've had a dog's hand at life. true strength comes from hurt and bad experiences.. YOu have never seen a professional body builder who never lifted weights... There has to be a struggle. YOu have to be vulnerable to endure the hard ships that develop strength. That in time, builds your character. Life is a process that will not be denied. They are steps that we must all endure, if we are to go into our "better"/ enlightened selves.

    Ive recently become exposed to the idea that ive become vulnerable, through a series of consequences of life , each time one of these circumstances happen its some how takes me back to my past childhood life of possibly being to sensitive to reactions of others,yet ive come to a decision that if im to take these incidents seriously ,i need to rise above what others say and think and to only believe in what i hold true and in what is correct.

    With hindsight i can only imagine that any one on this post is having issues not with themselves but people within their circle of life, so let the blame lay squarely on these peoples that feel that they have the right to inflict others into subversion.

    Dont let the burdeners make you carry more than your worth , let the burdoners carry the weight of there own baggage.

    To tell you the truth, I'm exactly the same way. My expression is always always always the same. Unless I'm grinning like an idiot, there really is nothing to give away. So I just let it go and get pissed when someone says dumb **** because they don't know me. They say I'm strong because the look on my face never changes. And when they say that I kind of freak out and have a little inner identity crisis or something. I feel more vulnerable then ever.

    You should send me an email sometime. I'd love to talk to you sometime.
