Everything I am today; I owe it to one person in my life.
My mother.
Because of her, I feel confident enough to stand proudly and fight for what I believe in. Because of her, I know my worth. Because of her, I’m not afraid to fail. Because of her, I am an honest and modest person who likes to help people. Because of her, I know how to take care of myself. Because of her, I know what real love feels like.
Because of her, I am strong.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who taught me to never give up on myself. To get up after I fall and try again. To tell myself that I can do everything if I really put my mind to it. To accept that I am just a human and making mistakes is not something I should be ashamed of.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who taught me that self-respect is the most important thing in life. That in order for others to love me, I need to love myself first. That I am worthy. And that I should never ever let anyone convince me otherwise.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who taught me what real love is. I’ve been blessed to grow up in a harmonious and loving family who showed me that love really does conquer all. That is why the person I am today could never ever settle for something less than the real, cannot-live-without-each-other kind of love.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who taught me that being emotional is not a weakness. That expressing feelings is not something I should be ashamed of, but rather, a characteristic I should be proud of. Thanks to her, I’ve realized that being vulnerable in a harsh and brutal world like ours, is a strength.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who was always there for me. Always there to pick me up when I fall. Always there to help me learn my lessons. Always there to talk about everything that is bothering me. Always there to give me an advice. Always there to sacrifice herself for my wellbeing.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who has always reminded me of my worth. A human being who has taught me that I should never ever give up on my dreams for the sake of others. A beautiful soul who has always told me that I should keep my standards and head high up and never ever allow anyone to take advantage of my kindness.
I am strong because I’ve been raised by a mother who has taught me that kindness and honesty are the keys to happiness.
I am strong because I’ve been lucky enough to be brought into this world by some like her. A pure, genuine individual who has a heart full of love. A loving human being who has a soul that shines brighter than the morning sun. A role model. A true inspiration.
