A strong woman

A strong woman.

Honestly, I don't know what a strong woman is, I've tried defining that woman, but words aren't enough.

What is a strong woman?

Well to me, a strong woman, is the woman, who has found out today that she's HIV+, and this woman makes a decision to not end her life, but accepts the situation that she's in, and handles it with strength.

A strong woman is the one who was raped, and still finds courage to talk about it, and accepts that situation and moves on.

A strong woman is a single mother today, because I assure you that, no one can play both the roles a single mother plays, of being a mother and father and never gives up. This single woman ensures that there's food on the table for her and her children, no matter how hard life may get, this single mother carries her children with pride and will still be a provider.

A strong woman, Is the woman who raises her children according to God's will. Matthew 19:14. Jesus says let the little children come to me. Instill good morals, values and respect in your children, raise them, according to God's will, and not of your own.

A strong woman, is the one who was abused, and chooses to stand up for herself, and refuses to be the victim of abuse.

A strong woman, is the one who's independent, who doesn't rely on a man for her own happiness, who doesn't sit at home and wait for the man to put food on the table, but this woman gets up and does things for herself.

A woman who doesn't tolerate bullshit, doesn't stay in a toxic relationship for the sake of her children, or of money, but she gets up on her own two feet and creates a palace for her and her children.

A strong woman might be all of these according to me, but how would you define a strong woman?




{This does not mean that a strong woman has to go through these horrible things first in order for them to be defined asa strong, I compiled this list because, I beleive that a strong woman has to get up and do things for herself, even though it may seem hard and rough at times, but this strong woman will carry her laguage with pride}
