Want to hear a simple truth? I am weak. I am weak because I'm a human, I think with my logical emotions, and I have to be in control of every situation I find myself placed in. My very weakness, however, makes me incredibly strong. My weakness is my strength. The reason being is because I'm honest with myself. Does this make me a bad person? Of course not and you're sadly mistaken if you think it does. I don't believe in fairy tales or the "movie love" stories. I do not think like the average woman. Does this make me any less of a woman? Of course not. I feel love and pain but I'm protective of myself and place myself in a secluded private place within myself so that I can't feel any emotion. I detach myself from any situation where I would I have to let my guard down. Being a woman, it is hard work and I'm new to this but in my short learning experience of walking into my womanhood, I've learned that the first mistake we make as women is not knowing or fully understanding our worth and potential. Not only understanding it, but making it active and effective towards our lives. And you know what women, it's your fault. I understand bad things happen to us and it affects us in both negative and positive ways. Bad things happen to everyone, remember? Sometimes we deserve it due to our poor judgement. Sometimes we were the innocent bystander that just so happened to be in the line of fire. No matter what the reason for it to happen to you, take ownership of the experience, don't let the experience own you. You should NOT let ANYONE or ANYTHING negatively impact your self image. If you don't know how valuable you are, how can anyone else??? My truth, I've had to learn this lesson in pain and heartache but I will NEVER forget it. However, every pain I've experienced, every hard lesson I've learned, and everything/every one I lost is worth going through, worth learning, and worth the loneliness. It's worth it because now you and I can actually see my strength. Can you see yours?
