“I urge you to be softer with yourself, 

I urge you to be softer with those you love, 

Soft touches can save the world. 

Soft touches loosen stiff hearts.  

Tightly bound shields created from fear of letting others in- 

Your softness is not your weakness. 

Your softness is your courage. 

Let your softness be your strength.  

Vulnerability is rare. 

I urge you to allow your soft vulnerability to touch those 

who secretly crave it in the silence locked behind thick plaster walls. “
