"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
So if you know me at all, you pretty much know that I don't like being seen as a weak person; I automatically attribute emotional vulnerability to weakness (mind you I have a double standard so I only see this in myself and not in others... I'm some counselors nightmare ha). I don't know what it is with me and where I really got this idea, but for some reason I've always seen crying, or feeling any kind of emotion that requires you to be vulnerable,as a sign of weakness and I don't like people to think I'm weak. I come from a long line of strong people. A long line of people who have persevered through very difficult times, so I try everything I can to uphold the family name and be strong so that when everyone sees me, they will see a representation of the family I come from.
