Strong is the boy who battles his depression, telling him he shouldn’t be here, which in return he says, “ I am worth it. I am deserve to live.” Strong is the girl battling her DID, accepting her alters, loving them, protecting them. Strong is the girl who takes care of her siblings while her mothers off fighting a war. Strong is boy who tells others they are beautiful, even though he thinks he’s not. Strong is the girl who hugs everyone and tells them they are perfect just the way they are. You are strong.
