Strength

Not sure whether or not to be concerned. Your past really wasn’t tough. Sure seemed tough at the time and it was not all smooth sailing…

… but now that you’re older, you realize that any strength that you have has come from learning from people wiser than you… and trying to put things into perspective.

Or… maybe you’re just not a strong person. You don’t particularly care to think that but just be aware that you might not be able to handle some things as well as you think you can.

Being strong doesn’t mean not having to deal with fear, project confidence, be a jerk, or having to act the badass, lolz…

And there’s all kinds of different strength out there. For various situations and various kinds of people.

Too often we get so wrapped around the idea of being strong that we forget to actually be strong.

Like weight lifters that don’t care about the shoulders because stronger shoulder muscles aren’t as noticeable. Looking strong doesn’t mean being strong.

Dunno. Odd that you like the expression of the picture, but have to then immediately address whether or not it applies to you.

Self reflection and introspection is always helpful though. Grounding. And oddly enough, even peaceful.

Perhaps sometimes it takes strength to admit to weakness… 🤔
