i see you.
You are so loved, strong and POWERFUL.
You are worthy of new beginnings.
And you are deserving of love, forgiveness, healing and patience.
But I want you to know — Individually, you are a woman fighting through something, accomplishing something, learning something - but together, WE ARE WOMEN. Strong women. We are women who need to start coming together for each other; start encouraging one another; start uplifting one another. STOP judging, bullying, hurting and envying one another. We are all in this together. We are all going to experience hard times, we are all going to have seasons of doubt and insecurity, we are all going to accomplish great things- and every single thing we’re going through- good or bad- would be SO much more encouraging with a group of strong, uplifting women by our sides. This is pretty cheesy, but there’s no women without WE. You can definitely get through things on your own and you can definitely feel proud of accomplishments on your own, but having WOMEN surround you is a type of strength that you simply can’t have on your own.
remember:
healing is not linear, you WILL get through your tough situation, your feelings are valid and important, your dreams aren’t too big, your body is yours and yours only- so cherish it, you’re doing WAY better than you think you are, and to the women - WE are strong.
