I Have Great Inner Strength

I Do But...

By: soulrunher
Written on January 21st, 2013
It weakens all the time. It's a constant struggle to maintain inner strength and just not break down. I never doubt my strength will return because I won't allow for anything else. It's how I see myself, how I want to live and how I make it through my trials. I am strong and I like it. So when I feel so weak and in doubt, I just ride that wave out and I know that I will soon reach the shore again that is so comforting to me. The shore that makes me keep going and the person I am. I don't consider myself weak because I feel weak, I consider myself strong because I can be weak.

    You can't be strong all the time. Life is full of ups and downs. You need some weakness to appreciate your strength.

      Wow...Im already liking you. Can you please go through ALL my stories and guide me. LOL

      I know I can't be strong all the time. But for example, I could cry right now because I feel hurt over an incident. Instead, I fight with all that I feel inside and deal with it. Hold back the emotion and go on! It's the only way I know to survive. I do break down, in the shower or car when Im alone. Sometimes.

      I'm willing to share! I'm not always positive but I do try to ride out the bad in the best way I can. I think its better than being destructive and negative. Hugs. Sending some your way.

    True strength comes from within soulrunher and it is good you know your own strength
