What is strength?
It's not just the roar of the warrior …. it's the quiet moments when we're tired but still rise!!
Strength is being called STRONG so often that people forget we are also human.
They see the armor, but not the scars!!
They see the smile, but not the nights we whisper prayers to keep going and keeping it all together in n the midst of despair and the fears we may have.
A strong woman isn't strong every day.
She falls. She cries. She doubts. She gets angry.
But she never stays down. NEVER
Because true strength isn't about never breaking
It’s about rebuilding yourself, softer, wiser, and more radiant than before.
Love and Light,
Maria HIV Mejia
🙏❤️🦋👽 To my sisters of resilience: it's okay to rest. You're still a warrior.

I'm a believer of this... I think lol
Thank you for sharing this Maria! Sometimes I don't feel the strength in my tears or my rest. Thank you for the reminder that it is ok and doesn't take away from all of this fierceness!
Thank you for sharing this!…
Thank you for sharing this! People forget we are human and face struggles. They say check on your strong friends and this is such a beautiful reflection of that!!
This was Beautiful
Thank you Maria, this was beautiful and inspiring and needed for many, I know these words affected me, I needed these words. I feel so many times when I've had to rise from seemingly ashes, that's why I use pinkphoenix as an email, because I can identify with the phoenix. Even now I'm still rising from the ashes of last November, it's difficult because every day seems like a new fire to walk through, it's overwhelming, I've had to back off a little at times to spare my sanity. It's strengthening and comforting to know that you're not alone.
