Often times we reward and put on pedestals the people who are strong. The people who make it through tough situations. We end up expecting them to continue to be strong in all other situations they are faced with. 

Sometimes we forget to check in with them. We figure that they are strong so they're okay taking yet another punch. 

However, we don't realize that even though they may be strong, it still hurts to go through certain situations, and most importantly, they're just as human as anyone else on this planet. We all have feelings. We all get hurt. And that's okay. 

Let's not normalize expecting people to continue to be strong even if they've been strong before, and especially if they've been made to be strong their whole lives.
