“Weakness has nothing to do with it. It doesn’t make you vulnerable to admit you had no control of a situation. What makes you powerless is putting the blame on yourself and easing it off the culprit. To take on what he did and make it your own.” His voice stayed deep and soothing. He remained matter of fact, but the words struck me deeply. “And you are one of the toughest humans I ever met. You are anything but weak.”
