*vulnerability is not weakness*

 To anyone that has been called “weak” 

for pushing away something that was not right for you, 

for something that you were not ready for, 

for something you knew others approved and applauded you for, 

But now they have a million questions as to why you pushed it away, 

You are not weak. 

You are not weak for choosing to give yourself time. 

You are not weak for trying to learn more about yourself and how you can help the world. 

You are strong for pushing away what others expect of you, and not looking back. 

You are strong for putting yourself first. You are creating your own journey and you are learning to embrace every part of yourself during it. 

It’s YOUR life. 

Live it for yourself, not anyone else.
