What Is Strength?

Submitted on Oct 24, 2025 by  MariaHIVMejia

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.
