“I feel like I have spent my entire life trying to prove to myself that I am strong and being strong would be enough. I have spent so much of my energy setting such high expectations to be strong and shelving my own emotions that now I’m tired. (…) Now I have found myself exhausted from running from my need to be vulnerable.”
— Mitzi J Hernandez, I Am Strong, But My Soul Is Exhausted (via weltenwellen)
