Fortitude: courage in pain or adversity
The term fortitude can be applied to all of life's situations, especially through heartbreak. Having the courage to get up and go on with your day or going out, even with the possibility that you may cross paths with your once love, takes strength; strength that some may not relate to.
It's not pathetic: feeling so down that you don't want to deal with anyone or anything. You want to lay in bed, do nothing, and think about nothing. You may come across individuals who don't understand why you're being so dramatic about the whole situation. Do not listen to them! Everybody copes in different ways. Just know that when you do get the strength to get up, be around happiness, and have a positive mind-set, you are fortitude.
As some people say, no sin is greater than another sin; a sin is a sin. That is how I see fortitude. It doesn't matter the situation, small or big, fortitude is fortitude. Be proud of your progress and how far you have come since the beginning. You're the only one who knows how difficult your situation has been, so you should be proud at how far you have come.
You deserve nothing but a life full of happiness and fortitude can get you there.
I think the best thing in life is finding your strength when you want to break but right at the end of the rope when you want to give up, there comes some sunshine entering in!
