Who is a strong girl ?
Every time my life went a little downhill I was always told to
deal the circumstances with poise and be a strong girl .
But, my head always questioned me ‘Who is a strong girl? ’ and I was told :
- -- Who can get through heartbreaks , ended
friendships and dysfunctional relationships .
- -- Who fakes a smile and walks away like nothing
happened every time the world hurt her .
- Who holds back her tears and rushes to the washroom and weeps .
- Who is always available to new friendships.
-
Who has enough energy to pretend during the day
and tired of out running her problems at night.
- Who has a million rumors about her and acts unaffected by them .
- Who doesn’t see any point in sharing her miseries .She is. considered the funny one , the bubbly one , the problem solver .
- Friends come up to her with their issues expecting her to know what to do because she seems to have her shit together .
- Who listens , understands and tries to be a good friend.
- Who has gotten used to putting her problems aside .
- Who is careless , frank and strong opinionated .
- Who doesn’t text her family/friends when she has a mental breakdown , chooses to be quiet about it instead .
Well , if these were the criterion of a strong girl I was
pretty much all of them . Yet I felt , I only looked strong but didn’t feel so
. As if I was living a lie. But, as time passed and I handled life’s tantrums whilst
keeping my calm what I didn’t comprehend was , a
strong girl is someone who doesn’t realize that she is strong as iron , because
she always keeps hope , because she
keeps going even though she’s witnessed how cruel the world can be .
Even though the world constantly wants to make you a different
person with it's stereotypes , stay true to who you are ‘Be a strong girl’ .
Until next time
Polý agape (lots of love) and stay cheerful :) !
