She’s not doing everything on her own because she wants to.
She’s doing it because life left her no choice.
Because she’s had to survive.
Because no one showed up when she needed help.
Because trusting the wrong person cost her dearly.

So don’t mistake her strength for preference.
Her independence isn’t about wanting to do life alone —
It’s about having to.

If you’re lucky enough to stand beside a woman like her,
don’t just admire her resilience from a distance.
Show up.
Take her out.
Hold her hand.
Buy her flowers without a reason.
Pursue her with kindness, not pressure.
Offer support, not control.
Make her feel safe again.

Because the truth is —
She doesn’t want a saviour.
She wants someone she can finally rest with.
