Yeah but no one out here appreciates me
Even if you think no one appreciates you Starry, you're still a beautiful person and always will be. I can appreciate that.

be patient with a strong woman, it’s worth the effort. - by Cat O'Connor
http://www.rebellesociety.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/MaskedWoman01.jpg
Yes, she is strong.
That strength born from facing fear, heartache, challenges and countless obstacles along her path; strength awakened as she found her own way through the storms.
This strength, built over a lifetime, has become something which defines her — a quality others see and admire, a quality available within all women, within everyone. A quality, and yet, also a defense mechanism, a tool for survival.
Not everyone finds that strength within, not every woman chooses strength as their tool.
Other women turn in various directions, draw upon various tools, and may, at times along their journey, allow themselves to break.
Those others are also her.
Because she is strong, yet in that strength is weakness.
Her strength came through the cracks of her brokenness. Behind the mask of strength are more masks — masks of fear and doubt, vulnerability and pain, uncertainty and insecurity.
The strong woman doesn’t always want to be strong. It can be a heavy weight to continually carry.
Expectations come with this strength, both from within and from the world around her.
Know that she’s looking at times for a soft space to land; to let go without judgment, without being told she needs to be fixed. Without being asked what’s wrong. Without being condemned or looked down upon.
Without being made to feel like she’s failed simply for showing another side of herself.
Be kind to this woman.
She’s spent so much time and energy working to build herself up, dig herself out and help herself up that sometimes she’s tired. Sometimes she feels weak. Lonely. Spent.
She’s become so used to wearing her mask of strength, holding herself up and pushing herself forward that it will take tremendous effort to let it go, to drop her guard.
Protecting her heart and persevering through have become so second nature to her that she may not even realize that letting go, tapping out, and giving in is what she wants and what she truly needs to do.
An inner struggle arises: I need to be strong, but I’m afraid to be weak. What will happen if I allow someone in? What will people think if I ask for help or let myself go or allow myself to rest?
The strong woman’s mind runs wild with those demons she’s been standing strong against. Opening up to vulnerability and uncertainty takes a whole new kind of strength — a form of strength that requires letting others in.
Letting her walls down and allowing herself to be real; it means actually facing the demons, rather than simply building walls around herself to keep them out.
Please be patient with a strong woman who crosses your path or joins you on the journey. It may not be easy to love her, but it will definitely be worth the effort. That strong woman will love you fiercely, faithfully and unwaveringly.
Allow her to let go, and be sure to hold her softly as she lands.

I have one wish for the world this Christmas and that is for the abolishment of names. Other than the name you're given at birth, no other name should be used to describe you, other than the word beautiful. No more segregation and despising. No colours or size, no faith or beliefs. No orientation for pleasure chosen, no age or infirmity. None!
No names for one another, just a belief that we are all beautiful, because we are unique, a singular beauty to be treasured for the moment we exist here. Enjoy each and every being that exists, for each is as important as you and just as rare.
May that wish come for you all and enjoy a peace in your hearts. Merry Christmas to all.
