For me strength is something I saw in my self by going threw things and coming out if if scared covered in scars but knowing of how not to an how to handle most of any situation.
We shut to many out on there truths or we hold labels against men and women who are on a continues journey of change. From faults they were taught actions they saw.
Something I feel we never stop doing. Be it on ourself for others for your children. I no that you have to work to be better at any of it. Yet it takes time. So take my time with how you feel.
