A willow tree symbolizes our ability and capacity to withhold hardships and staying strong. There's a quiet strength and calm courage about willows. The stronger the wind blows, the more these trees bend and bound back harder. In society today, men are considered "weak" or a "pushover" if you're a woman, but everyone has the right to stand up for themselves and take a mental health rest day when life gets hard. Like a willow, when you look after yourself and take a break, you can come back stronger.
