Response to Strength in Slavery
The following is the link to the essay, "Strength in Slavery" by kaylee, below is my response to it.
Greetings, Mistress, I decided on this essay to read because of the fact that I had to draw upon my inner strength so much yesterday. I know I have touched on this before, more in the sense of my stubbornness and how because of it I tend to keep going because I don't want to fail. My strength, however, or rather the way I show it, has changed greatly throughout my life. When I was younger, I saw strength as me making it through high school or managing to take the abuse that I was given and continue on with my daily life. Now, I look at strength as a way to stand up for myself to those that push me down, while at the same time, getting down on my knees in front of those that are strong. The drive that I have to continue down this path does in fact come from my inner strength. It is perhaps one of the most significant differences in outer and inner strength for me. I could manage not to cry, or to wall my emotions up because it hurts to feel pain. But to me, strength is being able to expose yourself to the pain because you know it's the right thing to do, which in most cases is not the easiest. When I walled myself up, I was taking the easy road, the one more traveled, and my strength weakened. While I have been struggling to gain that back, my strength is again showing through. I think it takes more strength to listen to who you really are and to live it than to deny it. There's a saying..."that which will not kill you, will make you stronger." I think that is very fitting for most things, and I shall keep it in mind as I continue this journey.
