scary but strong.

strong miaw, despite looking like a moron.

being strong is over-rated.

everywhere i hear the mantra that you hafta be strong
and independent and you can stand on your own two feet
and you don’t need help from anybody.

which is fine, really.

but i’m of the opinion that it’s ok to ask for help,
it’s ok to be weak and vulnerable and at times,
it’s ok to show emotions, and be human about it.

…even if it means crying over sad movies.

however, there are instances when being strong
is not only under-rated, but downright necessary
for each and every one of us to strive to be;

…being strong when it counts.

when people around you need your help,
when things need to be done and you hafta step up,
and when you hafta endure things that others won’t.

that means people can depend on you when it matters,
people are able to feel secure and protected,
and people can take comfort in your perseverance.

being strong when it counts, now that is really something.
i think that it’s often over-looked and quite rare.
so in my eyes, that makes the person special indeed.

be thankful if you come across people with those traits.
it’s someone you can learn something positive from,
and i’ve been lucky enough to have known people like that.

…despite how scary and weird that person might be.
