thank you for this. try the practice of noticing. a small challenge each day to take a breath when you notice yourself being quick, frustrated, or jumpy… start from there and soften down with exhales and if possible to make a soft choice or reaction you wouldn’t have otherwise made. :) I share 33 special observations tomorrow morning, keep your eyes peeled.
This has just hugged me so tightly. I got a prophetic word two weeks back at church about this - that my softness and gentleness are not flaws or weaknesses.
This was not only a beautiful read it was also such a love letter to the human spirit and I hope a lot of people accept it for what it is!
wow - i absolutely loved reading this piece! As someone who always chooses softness, love and kindness and still learning to create boundaries so i can give the same kindness to myself as i give to others - i felt so so seen by reading your piece! 👏🏼🥺 thank you for writing this for all the lovers and kind hearted souls out there ♥️
This feels like a balm and a call-to-arms at once. The way you describe softness as heat that learns how to last—it’s such a quiet, necessary rebellion. The stillroom image lingers; it makes me want to breathe slower, live gentler, and keep choosing tenderness, even when it aches...
It’s likely no coincidence that I bruise easily, literally speaking. And I’m still working on softening my edges.

Beautifully written. I do believe that our purpose is to love and experience art and in order to love, we must feel so this resonates deeply.

The willow tree metaphor is so beautiful. I simply loved this. I think soft people are artists: people that alchemize pain.
