Tough

You don't have to prove to anyone just how tough you are.

You are still here, and you are still alive despite all of life's

storms and tornados and hurricanes.

You have weathered them all like a grand old oak tree, and

you are still here.

You are still alive.

And if that isn't tough, I don't know what is.

Nikita Gill

If you haven't already discovered Nikita Gill, I certainly recommend her to you.

There's an honesty about how she writes of life, pain and relationships that feels authentic to me.

Even though I'm not in the throes anymore of the angst that can go along with some version of a committed relationship, the memories can still be conjured up

 - and her words ring true.

Expect to see more of her writing here!
