Something You Love About Yourself

2
The one thing I ADORE about myself is my strength. I've been through so much in my life, especially at such a young age but I can truly say I am a better person now for having gone through it. Most things I don't share with other people, even close friends & family. Not serious things anyway. I'm so much like my grandmother that it's ridiculous. She was a very strong woman who cared for her entire family... Took on the burdens & responsibilities of most of her children & grandchildren. I didn't see her cry often but I'm sure she wanted to. I automatically assume the role of fixing problems for the people I care about. I can't stand to see them hurting. I rarely cry to others or complain about my situations. Two reasons for that: 1- I can give help all day long, but have a hard time accepting it... In any form. That's the prideful Leo battle i deal with daily. Lol. 2- I don't believe that complaining helps any situation. In fact, I think it hinders the solution. If you spend so much time focusing on the negative, you won't notice the positive. Anyhoo, carrying burdens on your own are TOUGH! No one should ever have to do that. I'm slowly learning to depend on loved ones for support but it's a hard battle with self. The absolute best thing about not depending on others in tough times or not having anyone to depend on is that you must FULLY RELY ON GOD. He has given me a strength that I never knew I was capable of. In the past couple years, my relationship w/God has improved so much. I know there's not anything that I can't get through. I will never truly be alone. No matter who enters & exits my life. No matter what materialistic things I do or do not possess. No matter what state of health, He is there & knows EXACTLY what He is doing even when I don't. Nothing is ever as bad as it seems at first. The world keeps turning. We all keep living & get through our days one at a time.
