Strong women don’t act as if they’re never hurt. They challenge their own comfort, cry when they need to, and emerge stronger. When life gets difficult they don’t give up — they simply duck down to collect themselves. And when they rise, they return savvier, more tenacious and more resolute. That is true strength — not the fact that they never fall, but the foundation and strength they muster to stand again every time life knocks them down.
