They say only the Strong Survive ... By the way who are "they" anyway ? Just curious!
This sentence right here creates the idea that those who are strong never need strength. Being strong often means being hurt, because you forget about self and stand in the gap for others. This position is not always chosen can be placed upon a person unwillingly. You wear your poker face when you need to get the job done but deep inside your hurting. Walls of pain built up to protect you. The strong come off as not being phased by anything. Never need assistance never need an encouraging word. I'm hear to tell you that's so drastically wrong. Behind that bright smile there a aching to be given what you are giving out to others. There a desire to often quit because why do I have to be the strong one the responsible one all the time. There's a misconception because things get handled I don't need assistance. Because I don't mind helping lets just pile the work up. Because you always seem to bounce back, have a listening ear, or an encouraging word. Your Fine....
I found the heart of a strong person is so big and so fragile at the same time. It took many situations to build that exterior many layers of hurt ,disappointment, no one to depend on. It took so much to build this person into the strong dependable straight forward loving giving person that they are. Don't take the strong for granite. Know that they need just as much love and assistance as the next person. We all go through things we all would benefit from a kind gesture or helping hand. They may not look like it may be hesitant to receive it but if you can, try your very best to let them know there appreciated.
If that strong person is you I commended you ! I appreciate you I know how it is to be in your position. You are wonderful and a blessing to those who don't hold the strength determination, and caring nature that you do! Remember it's ok to choose you sometimes! Only Survivors survive ! Don't forget about the Strong!
I grew up hearing those words so often. And o find that when you are that person its so hard to walk away. We just want someone to stop and say don't worry I got you. I love your blogs
