[00:00:17.03]‘Karibuni tena’ (welcome
back) to Rooted&Real.
[00:00:22.05]Again, this is Lynda,
your people, your personal person.
[00:00:28.53]Listen, ‘Your Softness Isn’t the Problem’.
[00:00:34.05]Don’t let ‘Betrayal’ make you bitter.
[00:00:37.25]I know it’s so easy to just keep
having that
[00:00:41.21]thing inside you that you’ve been
betrayed, ‘unalia’ (you keep
[00:00:45.13]crying) or you’re cursing.
[00:00:48.33]But you see, they hurt you because they
couldn’t handle your softness,
[00:00:52.93]your empathy, your loyalty.
[00:00:57.05]Don’t punish the next good
person by becoming cold.
[00:01:00.65]And there are many out there, there
are many good people out there.
[00:01:04.41]The world needs people
who still care deeply.
[00:01:09.33]Just be soft.
[00:01:11.29]But with boundaries this time.
[00:01:14.45]And again, I say to anyone who has been
betrayed, Guard your heart,
[00:01:20.53]don’t close it.
[00:01:22.13]Again, I repeat, Guard your heart,
but just don’t close it.
