There’s something deeply powerful about a gentle heart.
It loves fiercely, listens intently, and moves through the world with empathy.
But that kind of softness? It needs protection — not to keep people out,
but to keep your light shining.
Kindness doesn't mean saying "yes" to everything.
It means knowing when to step back,
when to say “no,”
and when to guard your peace — with grace.
After my stroke, I became more open.
More emotionally aware. More attuned to pain — and beauty.
But I also realised:
You can't pour from an empty cup.
So I started drawing boundaries.
Not because I stopped caring.
But because I started caring for myself too.
And you know what happened?
I became stronger.
More focused.
More free.
💛 Gentle hearts aren't weak — they are warriors in disguise.
And the strongest thing a warrior can do is protect their inner peace.
So be kind. Be soft.
And build boundaries that help you grow.
Because the world needs your light — not your burnout. ✨
