You Deserve Softness Too You've been the strong one for so long, the one who holds everything together when life falls apart. You check on everyone, make sure they're okay, and forget that you deserve that same kind of love too. You've carried so much without asking for help, telling yourself you can handle it because you always have. But strength doesn't mean never needing anyone. You're allowed to want comfort. To crave peace. To be held without having to explain why. You don't have to keep pretending you're fine. You deserve to feel loved too.
