in a world riddled with chaos, we need to be softer with our ourselves. i know taking yourself out of your comfort zone is necessary for growth but nurturing the things that make you feel safe is also incredibly important.

😃Destroying the idea that u need to hate yourself in order to grow. That u can’t validate ur emotions if u want to take responsibility. That allowing softness with self means succumbing to a victim complex. Softness is the soil from which my resilience grows. If i know that when I make a mistake, i will love myself through it, then i’m more willing to learn from it and take responsibility without shying away. Shame erodes true integrity. Yes the world is already harsh enough, why shud i let that harshness live inside me as well.
I do not have to hate myself to be strong. I do not have to shy away from compassion in order to perform “power”. Softness and sensitivity is not separate from power. I can make a mistake and acknowledge that it hurts. It doesn’t mean that I am victimizing myself. Things hurt. Things fucking hurt and I can allow that truth to be real. Isn’t accepting the truth power? I refuse to become a stone to fit into a harsh world. I will become a soft flower bed from which my soul rises and transforms.

the world is already a weird place as is, better to be patient and kind than cruel and unforgiving
