I love that you defined the word strong. To have strength comes in so many forms. Just as trauma. Thank you so much for sharing your story for us all.

To be compassionate is to have the strength to love unconditionally and to have self control. That is strength. Thank you so much for sharing your letter to us all.

Yes!! You should never compare yourself to anyone else. Life is way to short to live in the image of someone else. Thank you so much for sharing your story.

I use to be an adventurer. When I was younger I would go into the woods and imagine I was in a fantasy land. Now I’m older and I’m rediscovering that side of me with my husband by my side. Society tries its best to cripple that part of us.

Story’s are a journey and it helps pave the road for others to walk on. Sharing your stories can save lives even when you don’t think so. Someone always needs to hear what you say. Thank you for sharing.

Loving yourself in all its glory is such a blessing. Curly hair is nothing to hide. I use to straighten mine every day when I was younger because my mother hated how messy it looked. I now wear my natural hair daily with no regrets.

I look back on when my whole family would get together and how all I had to do was set the table. Life was so simple back then. Thank you for sharing.

I resonate with this. I have 3 children and often times I’m so focused on keeping the at bay that I can’t seem to savor the moment. Thank you for sharing.

You are so passionate. I use to love writing so much and as I got older I found myself losing that part of me. I still love we poetry. Don’t let your self doubt get in the way of what you love.

When I was younger I often wished time away. Now that I’m older with younger children I wish it would slow down. It’s funny how time worlds when situations change.

The things I would tell my younger self. Oh how I wish I could go back in time to do that. I’d save so much heartache and things would look a lot different. Thank you for sharing.

She sounds wonderful. It’s amazing when you have a role model who takes time out of their day to lift us up. I’m sure she’s so proud of you. Thank you for sharing

Healing is a long road and can be tough to get through. It sounds to me you’re strong enough. You should be proud of yourself. Thank you for sharing

Wow you are so strong and kind to have come from so much hate. You have come a long way. I’m so proud of you. Thank you for sharing.

Communication is very very important in all aspects. Especially when it comes to self respect. To communicate your feelings is the first step to having a respectful relationship with yourself. Thank you for sharing

People have no business telling you where you can park. Especially if you have documentation that gives you the right to do so. More than that no one has a right to speak to anyone that way. Especially when they don’t know you. I’m so sorry. Thank you for sharing.

To live in a world fearlessly and freely. Without having to worry about anything. That sounds like a dream. Thank you so much for sharing such a lovely poem. <3

Wow. This speaks volumes. Your poem is so powerful with meaning. I wish for a world where women are valued like men and respected. Thank you so much for sharing.

They don’t want us to heal ourselves. If we heal we are no longer apart of the dystopia of a system we all live in. If we heal we are on a higher vibration achieving our goals and getting to the top.

I enjoyed reading this so much. You speak of true equality and I feel like in a perfect world that could be easily obtained. However we aren’t there yet at least no all of us. Thank you.
