Stronger? Really?
What is the real definition of being strong? I guess we all have our own meanings for the word strong our own versions, that somehow tells our story of hardships.
For some people being strong is facing a difficulties all by themselves, even if it leaves them with all bruises, for some people it is sharing their problems with their closed ones and for some people they share stories with random people.The word strong is pretty much complexed it is not just about facing a rough situation but it is a reaction lead by the process of how we choose to be strong.
Whether we want to face it alone or ask others advice , about trusting ourselves or others , having faith in ourselves or not , and most importantly on how we see the world , do we see the black side or the white side or grey side. So whenever we try to be strong we are not only talking about the current situation but also how we face the coming events.How we will see the world now, after the bad day is over. Often we have faced a situation where we say we are strong but what we actually mean is that we are vulnerable and weak that we are really scared and want to break down but don't really know if it is okay to surrender? to breakdown ? we are somehow taught that crying, breaking down is a weakness and it is something one should not do.
Really? Is it so? Only a strong person can cry and confess that he is scared , that he is feeling weak and  what makes him strong is that he has courage to be weak. How many of us can do that?
Crying is not a bad thing sometimes when you cry you let your emotions out you feel liberated , free from everything and that gives you power to be strong.Sometimes being strong can cost us with scars that can never heal, damages we will never want to show anyone but you will be strong in real sense when you show those broken pieces of yourself to someone who really cares and let them fix you.
Being strong doesn't only means to face hard times with a smile but also to accept that it is okay to be afraid .
