help me remember:
not everything in life is a battle.
i don’t need to carry a knife everywhere i go.

help me learn:
how to shed my armor without shedding tears.
how to open up my arms without raising my fists.

help me understand:
i can be vulnerable, and still be strong.
i can be made of steel, and still be soft.

help me realize:
if life is a battle, i don’t have to fight it alone.
