you are strong because you practiced.

you are strong because you must.

you are strong because you have no other option.

you are strong because alternative is…

you are strong because someone depends on it.

you are strong because you care.

you are strong because others need it.

you are strong because of the history you inhabited and future you wish to colonize.

you are the strongest when you think you are weak yet you keep going.

you are strong not by how hard you can hit but you are strong because you can forgive.

you are strong because no matter the amount of tears you shed, you still remember how to smile.

believe or not — you never as weak as you fear.

you stronger than you think.
