Novel & Cerita I Didn't Know My Own Strength

The air in the room felt thick, oppressive. But my eyes fell to the sheets again, drawn by the stark, visceral red against the virginal white, and the thought came back, unbidden, whispered by the still, small voice of self-preservation: I hadn’t even known my own strength. I hadn’t known I could lose control like that.

It's not like I had anywhere else to go. This place was so familiar, but no matter how hard I thought about it, I couldn't remember anything about the place. It seemed as if I were hit by amnesia, that was when I realized I didn't even remember my name, I had forgotten myself! I felt like I drowned to the bottom of my ocean of memories, and had forgotten how to swim to the top while struggling to breathe. I felt constrained not being able to remember anything. All I had was this unfamiliar nostalgia to count on as a clue to find what I had lost.

Each time, I asked myself the same question: Why didn’t I stop? The answer came, unbidden and unwelcome: because I hadn’t cared enough. I had been too focused on proving my strength, on showing Malachai, Valeria, and everyone else that I wasn’t weak. But I had been wrong. Strength wasn’t about reckless decisions or forcing others to bend to your will. Strength was about knowing when to pull back, when to protect the ones who relied on you. I had failed them. And in that failure, I saw the path I was on.

I was wondering where I got the strength from because I've always known myself to be human and the strength I have been showcasing for the past week is not one a mere human should possess. It felt as though I was living another person's life because I didn't know myself anymore. I needed answers and the only way I know I could find answers were from my parents who were dead. I was at the office that day when an idea came to me I decided to go find Ron and tell him my idea. Truth be told, I needed a break from this work because it was at this job that I had exhibited the first weird strength so I needed to go back and find myself and know what has happening to me because I knew that if I con

Alex exhaled slowly, like he was holding himself back. “I hate this,” he said. “I hate that they think they own you.” “They don’t,” I said. “They try,” he corrected. I sank into a chair, pressing my palms together. “Maybe I’m not built for this,” I said quietly. “Maybe I thought I was stronger than I am.” Alex crouched in front of me, forcing me to meet his eyes. “Strength isn’t ever breaking,” he said. “It’s standing up after.” “I’ve been standing my whole life,” I whispered. “I’m tired.”

My knees nearly gave out. Because no one— No one— Had ever said those words to me like that. “I don’t feel strong,” I admitted in a small voice. Her eyes softened deeply. “Strength is not loud,” she said gently. She tapped lightly over my heart. “It lives here.” I swallowed hard. “But I’m still failing,” I whispered. “Donald keeps beating me. I can’t control my power. I keep making mistakes…” She shook her head slowly. “No.” Her voice was calm.

Fight! I washed my face with shaky fingers. "You're wrong," I said quietly. "I am not nothing. "I am not weak." The figure growled, and the shadows surrounding it snapped like whips. "Do not lie to yourself." "I'm not." My voice became more steady as the rage grew. "I've struggled to survive every day of my life. I am still standing. I was determined to persevere even when others abandoned me. I could be shattered, but I am not weak."

Elva's "You are strong my dear, let nobody tell you otherwise. Your mother and I are rooting for you, do whatever you are best at and show them that they were wrong to call you weak!" I recalled my father's words as I fought. Then I heard Emry's voice, all those encouraging words were like a potion of strength to me. I fought with everything I had, people have always misunderstood me and liked to drag me to the floor because of my weakness. But today I was going to take that weakness and turn it into my strength. Today I am going to show them that from now on, whoever tries to dim my light or use my weaknesses to hurt me, I am going to fight them all, to the end!. I made that oath with tears

Don’t let go. I try. I swear I try so hard. But it’s slipping. Everything’s slipping through my fingers like water. I can’t hold on... Yes you can! I’m not strong enough! You’re the strongest person I’ve ever known. I’m nothing. The words tear out of me, ugly and true. I’m nobody. Just some random human girl who never belonged anywhere. I’m not a goddess. I’m not powerful. I’m just… me. And that’s never been enough...

I could feel the strength in my arms and legs, the sharpness of my focus, and the quiet strength I had built up over the years. A mistake. I stepped on a hidden root without thinking, and that hurt my ankle causing me to stumble a little. I fought back, stabilized and kept going, ignoring the pain. I couldn't afford to be weak. Being weak was a punishment. Being weak meant not being seen, being ignored, or being forgotten. I wouldn't let that happen. Not here. Never.
