when you’re a survivor, you see differently. you’ve been plagued by sideways glances and awkward questions. you’ve come to know the best and worst sides of what it means to be human. you cannot help but see people differently.

when you’re a survivor, you live differently. you’ve had a chance to look death in the face and turn the other way. you’ve stood on the edge of what could have been but will not be. you cannot help but live life differently.

when you’re a survivor, you smile differently. you’ve valued the color of a flower more than before and the taste of food. you’ve been stripped of beauty but given a chance to reclaim it. you cannot help but smile at each day differently.
