I'd go with "Steel is forged in heat so it can withstand battles" a bit more. But what we are really saying is, we can choose to become stronger and discover a lot about ourselves during these ordeals.

I like that, steel it is! But, I worry that the way I am already thinking I may become to cold and solid to allow anything to penetrate.

Still working on trying to not let what h does ruin me! I'm working on that other side everyday!

The past can't be ahead of you in the future.
You don't have to figure it all out, just pick a direction.
What's next...I don't know but I can't wait!
