Recently I've been going through a lot and sometimes I wonder where strength comes from to keep enduring the trails and tribulations that seem to hit one after another. I was recently looking for a new background for my phone when I came across this.

"Strength is nothing more than how well you hide the pain." - Author unknown.

For me its so true. I've had so many people tell me how strong I've been through these past few months but really deep down I'm hiding a lot of pain that I just don't feel like sharing. I know the pain will eventually subside but for know my strength is just coming from hiding my pain.

I usually hold in alot too. I have proven to myself many years ago after some things happened how strong I am.

I usually hold it in til I explode, but I've found that when my hubby has long road trips we can talk about a lot, it makes me feel better and it makes his road trips go faster. :)

I sometimes hold it too. I find it I write about it to let it out it helps me alot if unable to talk about something.

I have to disagree slightly. It's not how well we hide the pain, rather how well we DEAL with the pain. I can not hide negatives, but I can confront and deal with then extremely well.
