Always remember those most humiliating moments in life, remember the sourness of your cheeks burning when someone publicly exposes your weakness, yet you can only clench your fists. Remember the feeling of having to bow your head and retreat even when you are clearly standing, with a lump in your throat as if it's stuck with shards of glass. Remember the despair of not being able to get help no matter how desperately you plead. Remember the awkwardness of hiding in a corner where no one is, too afraid to even cry out loud. It's not about wallowing in that inner humiliation, but using these moments as a whetstone, transforming every painful recollection into a driving force to move forward. Let those moments that once made you unable to hold your head high ultimately become the steps that allow you to stand taller. When one day you truly find your footing, looking back, you'll realize that those humiliations you endured have long turned into the nutrients for your growth, as well as your foundation.
