She was never the type of girl
to let it slide when her feelings
were trampled on
so it came as a surprise to everyone that
this strong-willed female,
decisive in her manner,
her steps always so self-assured,
echoing down the hallways as if to convey
that she was a force
to be reckoned with,
had given herself up
by simply walking into a tank full
of hungry sharks
and letting them eat her alive
the clicking of her heels
finally coming
to a
halt.
Sticky Situation 
This shows that even the people who appear the most confident and act the happiest, also have their bad days, they’re used to hiding it but one day it’ll be revealed. Great post xx

You nailed it! I think it’s inevitable that even the strongest of us, or at least those who appear to be so, will slip up sometimes or in extreme cases just break down completely. Thanks xx
