A strong-willed independent woman appears to need no one.
Yet, like any woman, she still wants to feel taken care of, safe & secure.
She wants to know that someone would be willing to just let her cry and fall apart.
She wants to know that when needed, someone will say, “I got this.”
She wants to know she really isn’t all alone and has support, just in case she does happen to need someone.
She really is the same as any other woman.
She just doesn’t (or can’t) show it.
Call it pride, call it stubbornness, call it thick-headedness.
It is a paradox because these are the things that signal weakness, neediness, and insecurity.
It signals there is something wrong with her – at least to her.
Is she really so strong if she has to ask for help or reach out to others?
I say yes. Yes, because it takes a tough woman to do just that.
