Women of Strength
OK, so I know that September, or even October is not the month for women. In fact it’s way too off. The Women’s Month is celebrated during March. But hey, whoever said we can’t give our ode to great women on any other month?
One of the things or rather people I have high regards for are women of strength. They may be just strengthened through the test of time or just innately strong but it doesn’t really matter. What matters is that at the end of it all, they were able to come out of their situation scarred yet head held high and more ready to face whatever may come their way.
I have known a lot of women of strength in this lifetime. These women may not be popular. They may not be even that known in their neighborhood but in my heart I saw their struggle or have heard testimonies of how they were able to battle what life has thrown at them.
Single moms. I just raise my hands in surrender to these women. Imagine raising a kid or even kids on your own. With the scars that are left within them regarding their situation, still they’re just able to appreciate what they have been blessed with.
Cancer patients. They may have lost every hope when they knew about this and yet they fight this dreaded disease with all their will to live. And I can just shake my head with their conviction to go through this trial.
Rape/Sexual harassment victims. They have been robbed of their freewill to give themselves to someone they love. But despite the traumas they’ve been through, they opened themselves vulnerable yet again to the world, trusting and loving. And all I can do is give a hug for you, woman.
These are just some of the examples that women of strength go through. A lot more of women are going through different struggles in their lives. Whoever among you thinks that women are weak? It’s just so unfortunate that you have met the wrong women then.
I live to be inspired by these women daily. To go through my problems with a smile on my face every single day. To aspire for the dreams I’ve set for myself. To be the best that I can be with what I have. To express who I am and not be afraid to show the world the real me.
Cheers to these WOMEN OF STRENGTH. Someday I hope to even come close to what you are, woman! I salute you!
P.S.
This article was primarily inspired by Chel who celebrated her birthday last September 21. You just don’t know how much I admire you ^_^ HAPPY BIRTHDAY, girl!
P.S.S.
I’d also like to acknowledge women of strength that have inspired me to write this article: Ron (as always), Ni, Malou (thanks for being a great friend despite we’ve known each other for a short time. what you’ve shown me led me to admire you more and more every day), mommy Alma (your wisdom is just beyond your age), Dudai’s mom (her strength is just enormous), and of course my Mom (you’re just the best).
