god doesn't put you in situations you can't handle

[1150pm]"I have no regrets in my life. I think that everything happens for a reason. The hard time that you go through builds character, making you a much stronger person." Rita Mero

As my uncle would always say to me "God doesn't put you in a situation that you can't handle."
Can a statement like this be true? I've come to think so! There are some people right now if I switched lives with them at the moments that had me at my worst they would of bailed! From the tender age of 3 to the my not so old age of 22 of have been through some crazy shit. Shit that I never thought I would have to go through but yet I did. With each battle that I have faced I have come out the victorious one no matter an outside source might think. Hardships and even regrets make you a very strong person, well they have for me. And I do believe that I am at my strongest, try me =) j/k.

For the past 3 years I feel like I have been to hell and back with a first class ticket! I was getting dealt blow after blow after blow. There are moments that I might have thought to myself well if I didn't meet that person or if I would of said this or that when I had the chance maybe this would be like that and so forth. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON! I look at the things that I looked at as regrets/hardships more like stepping stones or little speed bumps to get me where I'm at right now. I have an amazing son, boyfriend, and can't forget about good dog either. You have to think like if whatever his name or her name wasn't such a jackass and we broke up I might not ever met the love of my life right now for example.

With regrets comes lessons learned and it even makes you a stronger person. After loosing the first man who ever had my heart, my father<3> I moved from Nassau, Bahamas back to NY. If I would of stayed there maybe he would of lived past 52 years. Sad to say I don't regret not going back to possibly save my dad because I might not have my amazing son right now. And I knew that my dad wouldn't have it any other way as well.

Your will, will be tested time and time again. If you continue to stay strong and be true to yourself there is nothing you can not handle. My limits were tested and so might have yours but I held my head high and buckled up for that bumpy ride with my first class ticket. I grew up with values and respect for myself and the ones I love and because of that I withstood some of the hardest shit any woman has to go through. When you have good morales and respect for your self you might as well tell them "bring it on." I know almost everyone out here can probably say with all the shit you've been through there is nothing you can't handle. Trust me I know this for a fact.

I was given the strength to handle anything, were you?

Whatever doesn't kill you only makes you stronger!
