As a Woman I Always Try to be Strong
Hello Steemians lovers.
If I were asked what I want right now, I simply want to be a strong woman, a healthy woman, and a woman who is always happy.
A woman with infinite patience and who remains sincere in every test that comes.
A woman who is able to strengthen herself and keep smiling, even when everything feels difficult.
I know, being a woman like that sounds easy to say, but it's hard to live. Sometimes I want to give up. I want to cry as hard as I can without being asked "why."
I want to rest without feeling guilty for leaving everything behind.
But I've learned that being strong doesn't mean never falling. Strong means having the courage to get back up, even when my knees still ache and my heart still trembles. The health I want isn't just a fit body. It also means a calm mind, a heart free from resentment, and a night's sleep undisturbed by overthinking. Because I realize that when my soul is tired, my whole body is tired too.
The happiness I seek isn't a loud, show-off kind of happiness. It's just a quiet kind of happiness. Happiness when I can drink hot coffee in the morning. Happiness when I see my plants grow. Happiness when I can say to myself, "I tried today.
I don't want to be patient because I'm forced to.
I want to be patient because I understand that every test has its time and lesson. I want to be sincere, not because I'm helplessly resigned, but because I believe that some things are beyond my control.
And if one day I'm tired, I allow myself to pause. Because strong women are human too. They can be tired, they can be fragile, they can ask for time to be cared for. I'm learning to be that woman.
Slowly, one day, one wound that I give space to heal. One day, one gratitude I express, even if it's small.
Maybe I'm not that woman yet. But I'm getting there. And that's enough for me to be proud of. To my friends who are also striving to become the best version of themselves, we're not alone. We're growing, and growing takes time.
Thanks You.
