Soft and Strong

” Ah yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it”.
                                                   – the lion king

Have you ever felt like breaking free from all your fears, insecurities, weaknesses, and overwhelming emotions all the time? Shattering the goddamn glass ceiling and emerging ‘Strong’ out of everything that you are feeling at the moment.

• 

Ask yourself have you dealt and sorted your emotions or abandoned them instead?
Are you facing the problem being strong or are you running far away from it?
Being strong is only option, the only way out is what we usually believe.
Have you realised that when you run away from your problems, your sadness, your weakness, you actually abandon and leave behind a part of you?
The emotions which we find pulling us down and making us feel helpless and useless are the ways of your soul to tell you about your softer side, to make you aware of the side of you which wants to cry, be vulnerable and let go.

• 

Our minds have been taught from the beginning to be strong always, Never to fall weak or cry in front of anyone, Do not let anyone come this close to you and make you docile and walk over you that we have forgotten to express the other beautiful feelings of this soft side of ours. Love, Trust, Sensitivity and Humbleness which are also the part of our softer side are also lost and covered by the facade of being strong, rude and arrogant.

• 

What we don’t realise is that feeling these emotions is the only way to fully free oneself from them. Being sensitive towards your loved ones, understanding them, supporting them and always being there for them without saying it is the true Strong you need to be.

• 

Helping your loved ones your mother, wife , sister, brother, husband, father in their weaker times or even in day to day life filled with innumerable thoughts, worries is what being Strong truly is.

We do not need to be rude and ruthless to protect ourselves from hurt and pain. If you cannot love openly how would you live openly? When you restrict yourself from feeling and expressing your emotions to be the Strong you think helps you, you constantly keep burning inside.

• 

Let go, be sensitive, be caring, love freely and you realise you live freely. There is absolutely no need to be the Strong everyone wants you to be, listen to yourself, feel what you’re feeling and accept it wholly only then can you be happy and liberated fully.

“Soft and Strong maybe the opposites of eachother but if you really see you would know that being Soft is being Strong!”
