The "Tough Girl"

These are the pictures of my journey, The picture on the left is me  and my oldest on thanksgiving, The middle picture was me and my niece on Christmas and the one on the right is a representation of how I look today. Even though I lost my hair I didn't lose myself, my faith and my Life. My mom was with me today at my treatment and she kept saying I was a toughie. I realize that many people see me as a "tough girl.." I had a friend of mines Latashia Martin say to me just like her we represent the "tough girl" and with that no one thinks we need help. Why? because "we got this and we will make " it " happen" whatever "it" is.  A tough girl isn't born a "tough girl" she is molded into that position, and is penalized for being there. See people don't think you cry in the middle of the night because they see you smile in the middle of the day. No one knows that your strength runs low because " You got this" and you intimidate many because you are confident about who you are and they don't see that your vulnerable and love hard. "Tough girls " are tough because life has slapped them  in the face and there was no safety net to catch them. Your faith in God is tremendous because as you look back over your life and there are really only one set of foot prints in the sand and you know they aren't yours. Even when you acted a fool and turned your back on God he still carried the "tough girl" through. Boys run up and try to cling to "tough girls"  because she reminds them of their mothers , but resent her because she reminds them of their mother . While she walks forward and Men don't say a word to her because they judge her exterior as being to tough to handle and  to hard to hold, yet they  don't scratch the surface to realize the "tough girl" is vulnerable with standards. So as I carry the title of " Tough girl." Remember don't judge a book by its cover "Real Man" step up and let the " Tough girl" just be a girl...... Lets Keep walking...
