Strong women are those who know the roads ahead will be strewn with obstacles, but they still choose to walk it because it's the right one for them. Strong women are those who make mistakes, who admit to them, learn from those failures, and then use that knowledge. Strong women are easily hurt, but they still extend their hearts and hands knowing the risk and accepting the pain when it comes. Strong women are sometimes beat down by life but they still stand back up and step forward again. Strong women are afraid. They face fear and move ahead to the future, as uncertain as it can be. Strong women are not those who succeed the first time. They're the ones who fail time and again, but still keep trying until they succeed. Strong women face daily trials of life, sometimes with a tear, but always with their heads held high as the new day dawns

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back."

...And when you're crawling over broken glass to get to me,
thats when I'll let you stay...
