Coat Of Arms_Week 2_Strengthening

My take on this challenge is a little different. I'm a practiced extrovert. With that being said, while I have friends, I don't open up and share a lot (I've probably shared more about inner thoughts through these challenges then I normally do in real life). My core strength comes from within bore from the adversity, poverty, rejection from formative years and these are indirectly represented in my shield but I drew attention to them on the arm tattoos. My husband's strength is indicated in the hearts.
