I often think about kneeling on the ground to pray.
I don’t do it.
But I have the feeling of it.
It’s hard to be strong all the time.
Knowing that nobody can help you.
People who are strong, are strong endlessly.
I have never met someone who was strong for a few days and then wasn’t.
Have you?
Once you are strong, you are strong forever.
How does strength feel? It hurts like hell. (Click here to tweet!)
I would go as far as to say, it feels like a blade.
You have to walk with it, speak with it, live with it.
The blade is situated inside your heart.
But nobody can see it from the outside.
You just look strong.
You don’t complain.
You don’t look hurt.
You go along with life almost as if you are bladeless.
On the outside it looks like strength.
From the inside it feels like pain.
Strong people hurt. Endlessly. Quietly.
I know you are one of them.
The strong person. With the blade in your heart.
Talking to someone about the blade is not easy, is it?
We think it is easier not to say anything about it.
After all, you are getting by fine.
Why speak of the blade?
I am like you, I hide my blades. And yes. There is more than one.
I hide my blades from everyone.
I don’t want them to think I am not strong.
But today I am telling you about them.
So you can do the same thing.
Tell someone about it.
I bet they have a blade too.
With vulnerability and blades,
Christina
