Sentiments of a Strong Person
When everybody thinks you are a strong person, no one asks how are you. No one asks if you’re still happy, and no one hears your silence.
People talks to you when they need your help. But forgets you when everything is alright. Because they always think that a strong person is always strong in all circumstances.
But reality, strong persons are also vulnerable. They also get weak and hurt and lonely. In difficulties, they also need someone to listen to them. They also need a shoulder to lean on and a person who can stay with them.
They try to reach out and open up but usually, they only receive subtle replies like, “I know you can do it, I know you are a strong person,” and the conversation ends.
Strong persons do not actually need long advices or sweet words to hear. Just a simple, “I am here!” , “I will stay!” , “How are you?” , “I will listen!” , “We’re in this together!” are enough.
Just by checking how they are doing is enough.
Just by reaching out to them even if you don’t need anything is enough.
Just by being there merely as their friend not because you need their advice and strength is enough.
They also need you!
I encourage you through this blog to think of the strongest person who’s always there for you and check him/her out. Let him know that you think of him/her even in ordinary days like today.
