Just thinking...

Strength doesn't mean inoculating yourself against the painful moments of life. It means feeling every ounce of the pain and not letting it stop you, continuing to wear your heart on your sleeve and putting yourself out there again and again, thereby opening yourself more to the joyful moments and making the lives of those around you a little bit better.

So often I'm just not that strong.

"You sew your heart onto your sleeve
and wait for the ax to fall."
-- Bill Mallonee from his song "Skin"
