The Strength of a Lady

Women are natural warriors; we face constant challenges day in and day out—as daughters, wives, mothers, friends, professionals, and homemakers—because our work continues when we get home, and there are so many other things that come up, since there’s always an unexpected situation or a last-minute issue to resolve. It’s only natural that every now and then this overwhelms us and we feel overwhelmed or exhausted.

That is precisely the theme of this week’s two questions for the Ladies of Hive Community Contest No. 305 from the Ladies of Hive Community

Now, ever since I was a little girl, I’ve faced various challenges; for example, believing I was ugly because my classmates told me so and I let that belief take root, and then struggling with wearing glasses because they called me “four-eyes.” Growing up in poverty was another challenge, but it taught me that getting things takes effort, as well as to value more what I have and what I achieve; I also learned to be grateful.

So I can say without a doubt that much of the strength I have—the strength that comes to the fore when the world tries to make me feel small—comes from my upbringing, from the two beautiful women who raised me, my grandmother and my mother, who were always there for me. Whether it was teaching me to read, helping me with my homework, standing up for me against teachers and mean people when I needed it, supporting me at every stage of my education, and even when I became a mother myself—they were always there for me.

They showed me what discipline, perseverance, love, and never giving up can achieve—that love isn’t just words; it’s demonstrating it through actions, and, without a doubt, correcting you when necessary, because that, too, is love; setting boundaries and teaching you what’s right and wrong—that’s true love.

On the other hand, if there’s one thing that has given me the most courage and is my main driving force to fight and keep moving forward, it was becoming a mother; this first allowed me to fully understand my own mother and then gave me the courage to keep going, and even though my son is already 23 years old, I know I’ll still be there whenever he needs me.

In addition, I’ve recently faced challenges at work that—I won’t deny—have shaken me to my core, to the point of even affecting my health. It’s not pleasant to be in a hostile work environment and have a direct supervisor who makes work issues personal; this has forced me to rethink many things and find ways to internalize that I shouldn’t take things personally—that people give what they have, and I can’t change that, since it’s beyond my control.

In closing, women are strong by nature, and often, if we aren’t strong enough, the circumstances around us force or push us to be so. So I’ll sign off here, leaving these lines behind and looking forward to reading your comments. Hugs.

Las mujeres somos guerreras por naturaleza, vivimos enfrentando constantes desafíos día a día, ser hijas, esposas, madres, amigas, profesionales, amas de casa, pues nuestras labores continúan cuando llegamos a casa y tantas cosas más que se presentan, pues nunca falta un imprevisto, algo de último minuto por resolver. Es lógico que de vez en cuando esto nos sobrepase y nos sintamos superadas o agotadas.

Justamente ese es el tema de las dos preguntas de la semana del Concurso de la comunidad Ladies of Hive N.º 305 de la Comunidad Ladies of Hive

Ahora bien, desde que era una niña he enfrentado diferentes retos; por ejemplo, el creer que era fea porque mis compañeros de clase me lo dijeron y yo decidí crearlo, luego al usar lentes luchar porque me decían cuatro ojos. El crecer en escasez fue otro reto, pero me enseñó que obtener las cosas cuesta, también a valorar más lo que tengo y logro; también aprendí a ser agradecida.

Así que sin duda puedo decir que mucha de la fuerza que tengo y sale a relucir cuando el mundo intenta hacerme sentir pequeña viene de mi crianza, de las dos hermosas mujeres que me criaron, mi abuela y mi madre, que siempre estuvieron para mí. Para enseñarme a leer, al hacer los deberes conmigo, para defenderme de maestros y personas malvadas cuando lo necesite, para apoyarme en cada etapa de mis estudios y hasta cuando me convertí en madre, estuvieron para mí siempre.

Ellas me mostraron lo que la disciplina, constancia, el amor y el no rendirse pueden lograr, que el amor no es solo palabras; es demostrar con acciones y, sin duda, el corregirte cuando es necesario, pues eso también es amor; el poner límites y enseñarte lo que es bueno y malo eso amor del bueno.

Por otra parte, si algo me ha dado más coraje y es mi principal motor para luchar y seguir adelante, fue el convertirme en madre; esto primero me permitió comprender completamente a mi madre y luego me ha dado el coraje para seguir adelante, y aunque mi hijo ya tiene 23 años, sé que seguiré estando allí cuando me necesite.

Además, he encontrado retos de manera más reciente en lo laboral que no negaré me han movido el piso, al punto de afectar hasta mi salud. No es agradable estar en un ambiente laboral hostil y tener una jefa directa que torna personal lo laboral; esto me ha obligado a replantearme muchas cosas y a buscar las formas de internalizar que no debo tomarme las cosas personales, que la gente da lo que tiene y eso yo no lo puedo cambiar, pues está fuera de mi control.

Terminando, las mujeres somos seres fuertes por naturaleza y muchas veces, si no lo somos lo suficiente, pues las circunstancias que nos rodean nos obligan o impulsan a serlo. Así me despido dejando por acá estas líneas y esperando leer sus comentarios. Un abrazo.
