A woman who refuses to settle is perhaps one that should be feared the most.

She is unapologetically herself, accepting of her flaws and proudly representing all that she stands for. She is one who does not define her worth by who she does or does not allow into her heart. She has been offered dates left and right, only accepting some of those offers, and refusing to continue to see a man who doesn't give her all she needs.

You may see her as "single"; maybe even wrongly accuse her of feeling lonely. At times, sure, she may experience that emotion. Does she let it overcome her? Absolutely not.

You see, she has been through enough in her short lifetime to know what she can and cannot accept as the value of real love. She can instantly point out the mediocre men who play games to only view her body as the ultimate end goal.

There are women out there who cannot be alone — they won't allow this. They may seem happy in their back and forth relationships, but what you see is only a facade. True love comes from within, and no man can change that, give it, or take it away.

Choosing to wait for the right man, as long as it may take, is perhaps one of the strongest moves a lady can make on her own. She knows herself so well that she may even be considered "too much of a woman."

When you find a man who can handle the amount of woman you are, with no excuses and nothing but love to give — that's when you'll know you made the right choice to never settle.

So if you're out there, ladies, waiting for prince charming to come sweep you off your feet, remember that the only one who has the power to make true happiness is you.

Never settle for the mediocre man, never settle for "just-ok" love, and never settle for something that doesn't feel like it belongs. Refuse to settle and wear that proudly, because only the strongest women do.
