Sometimes the strongest people you know are the ones enduring the most pain.
They’re the ones going through their own internal struggles, and in doing so, becoming even stronger.
They’re the ones facing chronic pain every single day.
They’re the ones who have been hurt and cast away by others, only to go within to find out why. To enter the shadow self, the deepest darkest part of the psyche where all of the pain and trauma is stored.
All of that just to heal themselves.
And when they do that, they pave the way to help and heal countless others. Only the strong can become truly selfless, putting aside their own pain, just to help another.
Know this: The strongest people you know have the softest hearts.
No matter what they’ve gone through, they are always there for you. Yes, always.
So please, check on your strong friends. Offer them safe space to talk about what they’ve been through for their healing. And always be there when they need a hug. Always.
That’s how you become strong–by being soft.
=D
