This is a video from Shane Koyczan’s TED Talk. I found many things in this video that I resonate with. Having been subject to bullying growing up – his poem speaks to me. For me, one of the biggest take-aways from his talk is the very fact I am alive today speaks to how strong I am. I am one the strongest people you will ever meet. I have know pain and sorrow that I would never wish on another. In the end, I came through it. I am stronger for it.
