I learned a long time ago that the famous saying by Frederick Nietzsche is all a lie. It does not belong to, and the credit does not belong to, abusers and traumas and hard times that we go through. We are the reason that we got through everything that didn't kill us. It didn't make us stronger.

This episode is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the possibility of finding light even in the darkest of times.
