Stand Tall

It’s easy to claim that I will be strong and courageous.

But actually doing it?

Some days, easier said than done.

On the days I don’t feel as strong or feel like I can even lift my head, I breathe.

I pray.

I take in the world around me.

Maybe we really are not meant to be strong all the time.

Think about it.

If we were always able to stand tall then we wouldn’t know the beauty of seeing our own strength.

The strength it takes to rise again.

The very moments that define our lives.

Breathe.

Just breathe.
