Hey! It's Lynda again. Welcome to Rooted&Real. I want to remind you today that softness is not

2
00:00:27.184 --> 00:00:34.328
a flaw. You see, for every soft person the world tries to harden,

3
00:00:35.550 --> 00:00:43.259
and that's crazy because one thing I'm learning is that the world lies.

4
00:00:43.675 --> 00:00:52.270
It told you to toughen up, stop feeling so much, be less sensitive. So you built your walls.

5
00:00:52.847 --> 00:01:01.630
You laughed at pain. You acted like nothing hurt. But please, softness isn't weakness.

6
00:01:01.845 --> 00:01:10.453
It's courage with skin on. Protect it. Don't kill it. The world needs your softness.

7
00:01:10.762 --> 00:01:21.894
Your softness feels deeply, loves loudly, and heals gently. Yes, guard it. Not everyone deserves

8
00:01:21.988 --> 00:01:28.529
that part of you. But don't kill it to survive. Don't let betrayal turn you bitter. Don't let

9
00:01:28.623 --> 00:01:38.130
disappointment turn you cold. You can be wise and soft. You can have boundaries and a tender heart,

10
00:01:38.224 --> 00:01:49.465
and that's not naive. That is strength. So my person, stay soft. Even here, even now.

11
00:01:49.988 --> 00:01:58.301
The world has enough hard people. Be the one who still feels. Be the one who still cares.

12
00:01:58.637 --> 00:02:04.868
Softness is not a flaw. It's your gift...
