Does heartache make you stronger?
A disappointingly short answer, I fear, for the question seems so obvious to me.
No, heartache does not make you stronger.

I have found that many people focus their attention on their experiences of loss or heartache, but that is not the part that has made them strong.

Love makes you stronger.

And amazingly, it makes you stronger whether it is returned or not, though of course I happen to believe that returned is more satisfying.

Love makes you stronger.

I completely agree.

I am most interested to know that, sir, about someone so strong.

*sad sort of smile* Sometimes I think the strength is little more than illusion. It wasn't strength that kept me going, it was bloody-minded determination.

Ah, I recognize that sentiment. And, (I must admit, though I like to think of myself as above such things) the desire to, just for a moment - gloat.

Gloat? *smirks* Of course I never do that. ;)
