A woman needs to know how to be strong and stand on her own.
Being loved is not the same thing as loving. When you fall in love, it is discovering the ocean after years of puddle jumping. It is realizing you have hands. It is reaching for the tightrope when the crowds have all gone home. Do not spend time wondering if you are the type of woman men will hurt.…
You were all things soft: a feather, a candle a kiss on a tired cheek. But you were not weak. You took the world and made all yours. And yes, you became.
And so you became. Your soul felt lighter, shifting with the weight of change. You stopped trying to fit and started to just be. Imperfect and flawed, tough and soft, tender and strong.
Maybe where the sky and the water and the sand meet my new story begins. I am just now in my infinite moment becoming.
You were born with wandering feet and a heart already whole.
I have found a home in a woman strong, fierce, and loved. And she smiles back at me in the bathroom mirror. Proud and unafraid.
You were meant to run. Born to grab the earth with your fingertips, taste the wild and uncharted on your tongue.
They never know how to love a strong woman until she’s gone, until they realize all she needed was to fly without her wings being clipped.
She is a strong woman. She is talented at muffling her screams, at polishing her surface, at covering her scars. This is why everyone thinks that nothing can break her.
it's the constant battle between what you know and how you feel
encourage her to be the type of woman that sends weak men running the other way
You were not only a person unjustly accused of espionage, but someone who dared to challenge certain customs. And for that you could not be forgiven.
You are an independent woman. A woman with a strong heart and passionate soul. You cannot let go of that part of you, the part that decides for herself, finds strength in her ability to stand alone. Yet you cannot be afraid to love. You cannot be afraid to embrace that ridiculously emotional side of…
You let him in. You feel weak, dependent, breakable. You have become the woman that let a man in, who trusted him, who can easily be crushed by the same hands that touch her. So you swing to the other side. You pull away. You spend time alone, just recharging, remembering that sense of self. Letting…
You love with a passion that’s sickening. A consuming, knotting, mess of emotion that interweaves you with another person.
You can conquer every fear and shut out every doubt. There is no obstacle too big for you to overcome, for you are more powerful than you could ever imagine.
Being a woman is being the very embodiment of strength.
