Strong Women

“When you are perceived as a strong woman it is assumed that you do not need anything or anyone. You can bear everything; and will overcome whatever happens. You are looked upon to help carry burdens and when you share yours its labeled as negative.

She is not asked if she is tired, suffering or falling; or if she has anxiety or fear.

The strong woman is not forgiven for anything. If she loses control, she becomes weak. If she loses her temper, she becomes hysterical.

When a strong woman disappears for a moment, it is immediately noticeable, but when she is there, her presence is unappreciated.

The strength that is needed every day to be that kind of woman, is not noticed.

Honor, recognize, respect and thank the strong women in your life, because they also need to be loved and feel that they can rest.”

Strenght

She is strong. Not because of how much she can lift but for how she lifts others up when they’re at their lowest. Not because she is capable of withstanding the storm but because she’ll navigate the storm and then show you how to do the same. Not because she is indestructible but because after every fall, she will always, always rise.

She is strong. Not because she chose to be but because the world demanded her to be. She has walked through hell, faced battles most will not comprehend and yet despite it all, she still chooses to be kind; to be soft at the hands of the world that tried to break her. Her strength comes from within. From learning how to turn pain into power, chaos into peace, wounds into wisdom.

Strong is she, who knows her worth and refuses to settle for less. Strong is she, who will not back down, who will fight for what she believes in. Strong is she, who has love wrapped around her heart, courage knitted in her bones and fire running through her veins.
