by apost team

You’re a unique individual that cannot be replicated. There’s no one on the planet like you, and you should be proud to be a one of a kind person. You’re like a rock in the way that all of the people around you are able to lean on you when they need strength, and this also means that you’re always able to rely on yourself.

You’re a type of warrior whose strength knows no limits.

You’ve been through the worst that life has to offer and you’re still remaining standing. You’ve been brave your entire life. You hadn’t had another choice. Courage was your only option. You’ve gotten through so many scenarios that have made you afraid only to come out stronger after you confronted the problem.

But maybe you’re feeling a little scared at the moment.

You don’t want to have to go through everything alone. You don’t want to have to be the rock that everyone else relies on. You want someone to be your rock for a change.

Not because you necessarily need it, but because it would be nice to walk through life knowing that someone has your back the way you have theirs. Even though you might not know it, it’s okay to feel this way. It’s okay to cry. Being emotional isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s just a sign that you’ve been so strong for so long.

You’ve always been there for others. No matter who called you in their time of need, they always found strength and wisdom in your guidance. You really know how to care for others. You’re the best friend that anyone can have, and you’re also the strongest person that anyone could ever have in their lives.

You’re not there to sugarcoat things for others, but to help them through their times of need.

But when you need someone, no one is to be found. This is because you’re hard to read. You’re so strong that you never show your true emotions and no one can tell when you need guidance or comfort.

They never offer you any help because they believe you’re strong enough to do it on your own. But it’s okay if you need help sometimes. You’re not wrong for feeling this way.

You’re not looking to be saved. You’re not looking for a magic friend to solve all of your problems. But you’re looking for someone to teach you the tools to fight battles for yourselves. Since you’re on a constant path of growth, you need someone to help you flourish into the woman you know you can be.

You find yourself wondering why it always has to be you that everyone relies on. You’re being drained of your strength and you’re tired of having to pick yourself back up after another obstacle course that life provides.

When life has given you difficulties, you always overcame them with grace and came out from the situation stronger. But what others can’t see or understand is that even someone so strong gets tired of fighting sometimes. You’re exhausted from using your strength to help others through their struggles.

You’re tired of being used for your time, guidance, and love. But you still manage to wake up every morning fighting with another smile.

And contrary to the beliefs of other people, you don’t need a man to make you happy and complete. Every guy that you’ve ever dealt with hasn’t been superior enough to meet your standards because you know you’re a complete woman all on your own.

You’re not looking for your other half because you know you’re whole just the way you are with your strength and courage to take on the world alone.

No matter what, however, you wake up stronger each day. Even when you think it's impossible to keep going, you keep going with grace and charm. You look every morning in the eyes, wondering what’s in store for you next.

You never stray away from life’s challenges, as you embrace them as learning lessons that will ultimately help you become a better person in the end. Anything and everything that you have been through is only an opportunity to become stronger and more fulfilled.

When life throws you curveballs, you hit them back with perfectability. You know how to stand alone with no one's help and guidance and you’re proud of it. When others would give up, you only came out stronger and more capable. It’s okay to feel down sometimes.

It’s okay to feel like you’re tired of being the strong one. But it is important to remember to never give up. It’s okay to fall down sometimes. As long as you rise up stronger than ever before. Keep fighting.
