We grow up, we put walls up. We keep our souls sheltered with the excuse of this serving as “protection.” But if we keep out the hurt, are we also turning away the love?

Take off your armor.

Yes, your boundaries serve a positive purpose of keeping your body and soul safe, but you need to cease the compulsion to wear this armor every second of every day.

Take it off.

When you expose the outside world to the cracks and crevices of your trauma and pain, light can be let in and fill those voids.

Light can be let in, and life can be felt.
