A strong person does not change because others tell them to.
This does not mean being overly emotional and dramatic for attention.
A strong person does not expect others to solve their problems.
Noel Alva
They dont need others to tell them how beautiful and smart they are.
They respect themselves just the way they are becausenobody is perfect.
Strong people get hurt more often than they hurt others.
They get hurt because others reject them for not fitting the social norm.
They get hurt because their most authentic self was rejected and not just an act they were putting on.
But it doesnt last long.
They do not let their past mistakes and experiences define who they are.
They do not let themselves be labeled as that one girl who embarrassed herself or so-and-sos ex.
A strong person frees themselves from the past because they refuse to trip on whats behind them.
A strong person loves others, regardless of their flaws and mistakes.
They love with promise and security, rather than fear and indecisiveness.
They know that love takes risks and those risks are worth it to them.
Strong people treat others how they would want to be treated.
They give multiple chances, but also know when to walk away.
They know how to say no.
They dont let others hold them back from the life that they want to live.
A strong person learns from their mistakes and understands that the world is not out to get them.
Strong people admit they have flaws.
A strong person knows that when they are weak, they are strong.
Because it takes a strong person to be vulnerable and have the willpower to get through their weakest moments.
They self-reflect on what they could do differently for succeed.
A strong person apologizes genuinely because meaning an apology takes a lot of strength to do.
They find purpose themselves.
