Strength

Stop telling me I'm strong because I'm struggling. Being chronically ill, in poverty, disabled, traumatized, etc has nothing to do with strength. You get two choices. Live with it the best you can or die. I'm not up for the latter at this point. And if I was, it wouldn't make me weak. I understand why people make that choice. It's all choices with the hand you are dealt no matter who you are and what your struggles may be just like anything else in life. 

Further, I don't want to be strong or resilient or any of that. I just want peace and to be treated like a human being. And maybe to visit Switzerland someday.
