Reality is a Bitch

When going through a rough patch, people tell you to be strong.  What does that mean?

Does being strong mean bottling up your emotions so that the people around you don't have to see them?  And if so, is that what they want?

Everyone says they are there for you, for anything you need.  But if you are strong, you shouldn't need them, right?

It seems to me that it takes more strength to let your emotions show; to let those around you see what is real and be there to help.

A moment of weakness turns out to be a moment of reality we tried so hard to hide.

  1. I love this Natty. It's so true. It takes so much courage and strength to ask for help and realize that sometimes in life you need your loved ones.
