I am the strong one.
The one who is always there for people. The one people lean on when they’re hurting, struggling, or need some kind of support. I genuinely know that this is my purpose.
Somehow, because of how my energy radiates, or because of the impact of my presence, I am always someone’s go-to; the one to vent to, the one to go to for advice, the one who has the answers.
The one that is expected to be strong in tough situations – even if that situation is tough for me, too. But because there’s one side of me always supporting others, I can’t necessarily support myself. Do you know what I mean? While the other half of me feels like collapsing, the strong side prioritizes outsiders before itself.
I focus so much on relieving the pain from others. I push my own pain, my own sadness, my own heartbreak down and suppress it, so that it doesn’t interfere with me helping someone else. I deal with it on my own, as I always have –
Because someone has to be the strong one… right?

I like your perspective. In the end, life happens FOR you and not TO you, so yes, someone has to be the strong one. Maybe it’s your destiny to be the strong one. Despite what you feel, maybe you ARE stronger than the rest of us. Just thought I’d drop this little comment to spur you on. Take care, now!
