"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger," they said.
But that's not true.
No.
What doesn't kill you tears you apart.
It shatters your heart into a million pieces.
It tortures you again and again and again.
Day and night.
Whenever you feel like you're getting better.
Like you've moved on from your past.
It crawls back and haunts you in your dreams.
You will wake up in the middle of the night, bury your head in your hands, and cry like a child.
It cuts you deeply.
You will never heal.
Until, one day, you grow numb to the pain, as it becomes your only way to survive.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger."
