I’ve always considered myself to be a strong woman But really how strong am I? Does it make me less of a woman if I reveal my feelings to another? Does it mean I’m not strong if I break down and cry? Is it ok if I can’t bear the weight of the world on my shoulders? Does it mean I’m less of a woman if the stress in my life is too much to take? Does it mean I’m not strong if I can’t make the perfect home? Is it ok if in the morning I can barely stand to wake? Does it mean I’m less of a woman if I need some time of my own? Does it mean I’m not strong if I want to do things for others more than for myself? Is it ok if my hair and nails aren’t done all the time? Does it mean I’m less of a woman if I’m not the picture of wealth? Does it mean I’m not strong if sometimes I’m insecure? Is it ok if I’m jealous of the things I want but can’t get? Does it mean I’m less of a woman if I have a hard time admitting my mistakes? Does it mean I’m not strong if I get so overwhelmed sometimes I need to sit? Is it ok if I’m not the picture of perfection? Does it mean I’m less of a woman if I can’t hold things together all the time? Does it mean I’m not strong if I need a shoulder to cry on every now and then? Is it ok if I want something just for me, something just to be only mine? Does a strong woman sometimes cry? Does a strong woman sometimes get sad? Does a strong woman have imperfections? Does a strong woman sometimes get mad? Do these things mean I’m not strong? Is it ok that I need and want a man? Is it ok that I’m not always perfect? Am I less than a woman?
