It's clear that you're strong. You have confidence in yourself, you are proud of who you are. You don't let people get to you. You don't let boys make you feel less valued and you don't let girls bring you down with their ridiculous words. You're tough, you always have been and that is a beautiful quality to have. Embrace being tough, but never forget that it's okay to let go sometimes. It's okay to let your heart shine through. You have feelings, even though you hide them sometimes.
Some people may not realize that under that tough skin is a big heart and a beautiful soul. You care about everyone you know and would do anything for anyone. People may not see those qualities all the time, but they're there.
Sometimes you get down on yourself because you feel like you don't let people in. You put up a front to protect yourself and that's okay. Your strength does not make you any less of a person. It makes you unique. It makes you, you.
Treasure your strength and your heart of gold. Love yourself because of those qualities. Show others how to be as tough as you are. Continue being the girl your friends go to when they're upset. Care for them and be strong when they can't be. They appreciate it more than you realize.
You've been hurt before, even though you know how to hide it. Sometimes it's okay to break down. Let out your emotions and know that you don't always have to be strong. It's okay to take a breath, let down your wall and let yourself be upset. It's okay to be vulnerable.
Always remember that your qualities make you who you are. They make you beautiful and unique. They are the reason you can go out every day full of positivity, ready to take on the day and make the best of it. Your strength makes you a great friend. It helps you achieve your goals without letting anything or anyone get in your way.
Life will continue to throw things your way. It will throw curve balls and make you question how strong you really are, but you know that you can take on anything at the end of the day. Always remember that being tough is a great quality, but it doesn't define who you are.
You are more than just the girl that can take on anything. You are a beautiful soul with a heart of gold. You just happen to be stronger than the rest. Keep doing you because you can and will do anything you put your mind on.
xoxo,
A girl just like you
