Don't Push Away Good Hearts

Be careful not to push away those who reach out with good intentions.

We do it sometimes without thinking.  

Because we’re hurt. Because we’re tired. Because we expect the worst.

So we build walls. We test people. We misread kindness as weakness...

But not everyone who comes close wants to take from you.  

Some people come just to give.  

To check on you. To hold space. To remind you that you’re not alone.

Kindness lives in the heart.  

And when you find it, protect it.  

Don’t silence it with doubt.  

Don’t lose it to pride.

The world is loud enough.  

Be the place where good intentions are safe.
