After losing my dog, my aunt a few days ago and after so many ups and downs in my life recently, I was able to see myself push through and do things that needed to be done regardless of what was going on in my personal life. I am a superwoman!! There are so many people in this world who despite what they’re going through, they push through anyways and they allow NOTHING to stop them from doing all that needs to be done. I know so many SuperWomen, SuperMen, and SuperPeople in this world who would seem like the happiest person on earth, even on their worst days. I know so many people who put on masks for the world no matter what they are going through they PUSH THROUGH and they let NOTHING hold them back from getting things done.
I’m a superwoman in this moment, I was grieving my aunt and I didn’t want to be doing this, but I knew that it had to be done in order to pay bills. I know that my aunt wouldn’t want me to lose out on money or opportunities just to be home crying about her. She didn’t want us crying over her. And as hard as it was not to, I got up and went to work anyway.
To all the men, women and people out there going through something heavy, but you’re not allowing it to keep you down, to all of you who know how to smile when you really wanna cry, for all of you who say ‘I’m okay.’ When you’re breaking down inside, YOU ARE A SUPER HERO! You are amazing, beautiful and STRONG!! Keep your head up!! I’m so sorry for whatever it is that you’re facing today and whatever you’re having to push through, but you are strong and amazing and you WILL GET THROUGH THIS!!!! We will get through this.
