Crack & Kindness: Hi, Self

I spent so long trying to hold it all together. Being calm, capable, unshaken. I thought if I just patched every crack, nothing would fall apart. But things still broke. I broke. And I’m learning that cracking doesn’t mean failing. It’s how the light gets in. How the truth shows up. Perfection is quiet but exhausting. So now I’m letting the cracks show. It’s vulnerable, yeah, but it’s also the only way anyone ever really sees me. And maybe, finally, how I’m learning to see myself too.
