That showing it would mean destruction, pain and hurt and nothing but unhappiness coming my way.
Grow a thick skin.
It seemed like the crime was entirely mine for feeling too much.
Derrick Freske
The crime against me didnt exist because my softness was the thing that allowed it.
Except…there is another way.
Listen to me, soft people.
Do not allow the world to make you thick skinned to the point you feel nothing.
Do not allow them to turn you angry and cold just like them.
Do not let them steal that goodness from inside you.
It allows you to see ailing children and the need to help.
It allows you to see grief before opportunity.
Your softness is an exquisite thing and one day you will find someone who celebrates it.
Who fills you with joy about it.
Who values your soft, kind heart.
This is who you are, and you should not have to give it up.
The world is hard because it needs more flower hearted people, not more with hearts of stone.
Be the soft person you are.
You are needed soft.
I promise you, you are needed soft.
