🌸 The Strength of Softness
“Nothing is so strong as gentleness, nothing so gentle as real strength.”
For years, I thought strength looked like hardness — like powering through, pushing past, or holding it all in. But then I met people who were gentle with their pain, and with mine, and I saw something different.
Now I know: softness is not weakness. It takes courage to stay open. To keep your heart tender in a world that rewards walls. That’s the kind of strength I want to carry.
