I want to be a very strong woman. However, I do not want tears. The question is…. can I do one without the other?
So many times in my past, when faced with difficulties I have put on my “emotional” suit of armor and muscled through the situation. I would not allow myself the luxury of emotion or more precisely fear, hurt, shame or any other negative feelings. I would control the situation (and my negative emotions) by simply walking away. I would consciously choose to focus on the positive, moving away from the negative people and/or situations as quickly as I possibly could.
Looking back, it is beginning to feel like I am a champion at avoidance.
Perhaps a strong woman is not just a tower of energy but a fragile balance of the two sides. Strength and Weakness….Light and Dark …High and Low
Is it possible that exposing my shame, fear, hurt and weaknesses could make me stronger?
