But she does it anyway, and I sit beside her...because strength is a choice.

Strength of body. Strength of mind. strength of personality. All this things lie within a person. They define us. They determine our limits.

Person with inner strength not only always find some aspect of a situation that they can control, but also feel responsible for taking action to fix the situation, even if there are many hardship & obstacles.

I am only one man with one heart...Call me a demon, call me a monster...but I can't be the strongest forever...!!!

I may not be the perfect woman in this world. But I truly value the struggles that I'm facing right now.

Strong women are those who do not do everything they can.
