Be the person who makes the effort,
the person who loves without hesitation.
Be the person who bares it all,
the person who never shies away from the depth of their feeling,
or the intensity of their hope.
Be the person who believes —
in the softness of the world,
in the goodness of other people,
in the beauty of being open and untethered and trusting.
Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide.
Be the person who takes the chance, who refuses to hide.
Be the person who makes people feel seen,
the person who shows up.
Trust me when I say — be the person who cares.
Because the world doesn't need any more carelessness,
any more disregard;
because there is nothing stronger than someone
who continues to stay soft in a world that hasn't
always been kind to them.
