A woman that has picked up a million broken pieces that’s meant to destroy her to then put them back together on her own .. she never had any other choice but to find the determination and strength within her to overcome to rise again …. ❤️❤️

Be Strong and of Good Courage: Navigating Life with Resilience
Shaina Tranquilino
March 3, 2024
We often encounter challenges that test our strength, resilience, and courage. The phrase "Be strong and of good courage" resonates deeply, inspiring individuals to face adversity with determination and fortitude. Whether you're navigating personal struggles, professional challenges, or societal uncertainties, embracing strength and courage can be the compass that guides you through the storms of life.
Understanding Strength:
Strength is not just about physical prowess; it encompasses mental, emotional, and spiritual fortitude as well. Being strong means acknowledging vulnerability and using it as a catalyst for growth. It involves developing a resilient mindset that views setbacks as opportunities to learn and evolve. Strength is the foundation upon which courage is built, providing the inner power to face difficulties head-on.
Cultivating Courage:
Courage is the force that propels us forward when faced with uncertainty or fear. It's the ability to confront challenges, make tough decisions, and persevere in the face of adversity. Cultivating courage requires self-awareness and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone. It involves embracing vulnerability, as author Brené Brown emphasizes, and understanding that courage is born from the willingness to be imperfect and take risks.
Lessons from History:
Throughout history, countless individuals have embodied the spirit of being strong and of good courage. From leaders who fought for justice, pioneers who explored uncharted territories, to ordinary people who faced extraordinary circumstances, their stories inspire us to tap into our inner reservoirs of strength. Take, for example, the civil rights movement, where leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. demonstrated remarkable courage in the face of systemic oppression.
Overcoming Personal Challenges:
Each person faces unique challenges in their journey, whether it be overcoming personal insecurities, recovering from failures, or navigating complex relationships. Being strong and of good courage means acknowledging these challenges and committing to personal growth. It involves seeking support when needed, learning from experiences, and using setbacks as stepping stones toward a brighter future.
Facing Professional Hurdles:
In the professional realm, challenges are inevitable. Whether you're an entrepreneur striving to build a business, a professional climbing the corporate ladder, or someone navigating the complexities of the job market, strength and courage are essential. Resilience in the face of setbacks, adaptability in a rapidly changing world, and the courage to pursue innovative ideas are all vital components of success.
Navigating Uncertain Times:
The world is constantly evolving, presenting new challenges and uncertainties. In times of global crises or societal upheaval, being strong and of good courage becomes even more crucial. Embracing change, standing up for what is right, and fostering a sense of community are powerful expressions of courage that can contribute to positive transformations on a larger scale.
"Be strong and of good courage" serves as a timeless mantra that empowers individuals to face life's challenges with resilience and determination. In a world filled with uncertainties, cultivating inner strength and courage becomes a guiding principle for personal growth and societal progress. So, as you navigate the twists and turns of your own journey, remember that within you lies the power to be strong and of good courage.

hoping one of those senior boys will wink at you and say “you know i haven’t seen you around before” -> i wait patiently, he’s gonna notice me
we’ll be out of here as soon as we can -> i see the great escape, so long daisy mae
feeling like there’s nothing to figure out -> my dreams aren’t rare
in your life you’ll do things greater than dating the boy on the football team, i didn’t know it at fifteen -> i hosted parties and starved my body like i’d be saved by a perfect kiss
all you wanted was to be wanted -> summer went away, still the yearning stays
back then i swore i was gonna marry him someday but i realized some bigger dreams of mine -> i picked the petals he loves me not, something different bloomed, writing in my room, i play my songs in the parking lot
i’ve found time can heal most anything and you just might find who you’re supposed to be -> you’ve got no reason to be afraid, you’re on your own kid, yeah you can face this, you’re on your own kid, you always have been

For Days You Are Barely Moving
Your mornings are hopeless & you're
Blind. Scrabbling through well-worn
Dark to your clothes, laid out
In anticipation of this despair.
Brush your teeth, braid your hair,
Grimace into your grimy mirror.
You'd pep-talk yourself, but words merely
Pass through you unheeded.
You rush and make your coffee
The sound of its torrid grumblings
And the sweetly-sour grounds' scent
Are their own wake-up call,
Are their own arbiter of hope.
Maybe these earrings will do to sparkle,
Maybe this book will do to carve a
Space in your mind for dreaming.
At least this bit of grace will fit
In your pocket, silently gleaming.
You open the shades, it's not so hard now.
The light shines generously upon everything,
Even I can change, even I am changing.
Take heart, let the day in,
Let's start from the beginning.

My personal headcanon is in the years living together, Connor starts to cut Noah's hair, since Noah doesnt really go to a barber (criminal on the run, ya know) and even as Noah insisting that he CAN cut his own hair FINE, thank you Connor, Noah always miss the one at the back of his head, they ended up looking wonky (hence the beanie lol)
Connor with his 💖great hair💖 decide to convince Noah to just pleasee let him give him a haircut this one (1) time, and Noah relents. He ended up really liking the haircut, Connor DOES know how to handle a pair of scissors. (Of course the fact that Noah found the way Connor's callouse fingers running through his hair, and the gentle way he tilts his head or blow on his nape to get the bits of hair out annoyingly soothing does NOT have anything to do with it) So it ended up a thing that they do sometimes😊

didn’t want clutter @ilarual’s previous post but it’s @spnscripthunt’s 12x01 script:
Endlessly fascinated by Mary being scripted to hone in on Cas with irritation and expectation, almost as spouse-protector substitute—the one with duties to protect her children. We’ll see in full force when he “loses them” in 12x09. She realizes the can’t use him as invincible battering ram and apologizes, but this is a flagrant blind spot of hers intrinsic to her stress-coping style.

well the poll is over! Laura and Travis didn't win but damn did we put up a fight - you can't claim a sweep with a difference of 2.7%!
i want to thank everyone who voted TravisxLaura - it meant a lot to me and other shippers to be shown support when you get met with such open hostility and hideous comments for simply existing in the same fandom space
there's a reason it's second most popular ship in the fandom - a very loud subsection on tumblr doesn't speak for its enduring popularity and the fanworks it has inspired others to create. and i hope this creates another boom in content creation! may others take heart and energy from seeing how many came together to support each other and their friends in the name of our ship <3
