When Softness Feels Unsafe

Presence is the Medicine

For many of us, softness wasn’t always safe.

So we learned to brace.

To protect.

To stay one step ahead of hurt.

And even now, in moments of connection,

softness can feel unfamiliar… even risky.

But slowly—moment by moment—

we can relearn what it means to open.

Not all at once.

Just enough for now.

Where does softness feel unfamiliar—but possible?
