What Does “Strong” Mean to Me?

We often think strength means holding everything together.

Keeping it together.
Staying calm.
Having the answers.
Pushing through.
Being the one everyone else can count on.

But maybe strength looks different than we thought.

Maybe strength is asking for help when you need it.
Maybe it’s admitting you’re scared instead of pretending you’re not.
Maybe it’s setting a boundary you’ve been afraid to set.
Maybe it’s resting instead of pushing yourself until there’s nothing left.

Maybe it’s saying:
“I don’t know what to do yet, but I’m going to keep going.”

Maybe strength isn’t about carrying more but instead knowing what you don’t have to carry anymore.

So today, don’t think about what strength is supposed to look like.

Think about  right now, in this particular season of your life.

What does strength actually look like for you?
What once felt like weakness that you now recognize as strength?

Write it down.
No perfect definition required.
Just your truth.

What does “strong” mean to you now?
And has your definition of strength changed as you’ve grown?

Maybe the strongest version of you isn’t the one who can handle everything.
Maybe she’s the one who finally knows she doesn’t have to. 💜🌿

🌿 I’d love to read your definition of strong. 🌿
