“...whatever doesn’t kill you simply makes you...stranger [...or stronger].”

There's nothing scarier, or more disconcerting, than wanting to get to know oneself better when suddenly, shockingly, something occurs so hard & fast that it steals the breath from your lungs unexpectedly, while you're completely unprepared.

I can only possibly analogize it as the sweetest, smallest child in your neighborhood coming up to one out of the blue, blinking wide eyes & smiling ingenuously. Then, catching you completely off guard, he punches you hard enough in the stomach to knock the wind out of you, and runs away to leave you bent over, curled on the pavement, wondering what the Hell just happened.

Phew.

More later.
