~:[CH9 - Day 52]:~ Stand Strong

It's been about two months since I saw Amber last, but we finally reconnected and I was able to get her the photos from her event. I rushed over from work and just made it inside, parking in a place that I thought would close at 11. Sadly that was not the case and I left the concert early for nothing. However, I was blessed to be able to witness such an amazing person perform on stage. She is a talented singer and rapper and I knew that when I first came across one of her videos and made a parody to it. Fast foward and now I was against the rail at her concert cheering her on. What I liked most about the concert was the message she conveyed to everyone there. She told personal stories that helped send an important message to her fans. "Life will only give you what you can handle," she said at one point, as she referred to something her mom had told her long ago. She opened with telling everyone to enjoy the concert they way they want to and not be afraid to be yourself and the like. She showed her vulnerabilities through her stories, but in that same sequence, she showed her growth and her strength. I was uplifted and didn't want to leave, but I worried that my car would get locked in the lot and I would miss the conference in the morning. I'm sure there were a lot more inspiring messages that came after, but even in the time that I was there, she won me over. As she said, she has her faults, but it in accepting that, that she is able to find her strength. We all have the ability to turn our vulnerabilities into strengths, we just have to believe that we can do just that. Trust in yourself, be yourself and know that you are ready to stand strong through all that life has to throw at you. While at times it may seem hopeless, stand strong, as you can truly handle all that life will throw at you.
