Survivor

Survivor: a person who survives, especially a person remaining alive after an event in which others have died.

There are many types of survivors, each extremely strong and incredible in their own ways. There are those who have survived wars, holocaust survivors, veterans, brave people who risked their lives for ours. There are those who have survived sicknesses, cancer, diseases, illnesses that weren't strong enough to overtake these inspiring people. There are so many more examples that I could name but the word survivor means something else to me. I fit in a different category of survivor; I survived depression. I'm a survivor who turned my whole life around when everything else in the world was telling me to just give up. So many other people have done the same. And that to me, is the most beautiful thing in the world. So many stories, so many lives, so much hope, fits into this one single word. I'm so proud that I'm a survivor and whatever you may be facing, I know you can survive it too.
