"She stopped letting her softness be the reason she stayed in hard places." Soft people feel the leaving harder. Feel the impact of walking away from something more acutely than those who have closed themselves off. Her softness made her feel it all. The guilt. The grief. The genuine love for something that was hurting her. She used to let the softness keep her in places the softness made harder to leave. She learned. Softness is not a reason to stay. Softness is a reason to protect yourself more carefully. Because you feel everything. Including the cost of staying in places you were never meant to remain.
