If they drown you, swim up like a dolphin; if the bind you in metal, melt the shackles with the flame of your rage; if they burn you, rise from ashes like a phoenix. Fight and win against your own demons, don't give them the satisfaction they want. Live as yourself, life is too short to not do so. Lastly, if someone shows you an ounce of kindness, keep it in your heart, for such people are rather rare these days.
