Strength

I think it's important to be physically strong however, I do believe that it is in fact, more important to be emotionally strong. Yet to be emotionally strong is not about being able to hold back the tears, to ignore someone's snide remark they've made to you or to try and keep it together when you're surrounded by complete madness! Emotional strength for me, is about being able to admit to yourself that things aren't going as well as they could be, recognising that change is needed, that you are allowed to speak up about problems and that at times... it is best to just call for help. Being strong is about excepting your weakness'.
I believe I've obtained over the past year, this type of strength I described. Like, Friday evening I realised that things were just getting too much for me, so I decided to back down and then today, book myself an HK appointment. Because I know for a fact that if I were to put on this tough image and act as though everything was absolutely perfect I would make myself weaker and weaker inside, because I wasn't facing the truth.
Next time you fight back the tears... don't. Let them run free, trickling down your face, one by one. Free yourself. Show weakness which in time will just make you stronger.
