The More You Harden, The More You Hurt

You’ve been hurt before.

So you learned to be strong. To be independent. To handle things on your own.

You told yourself you wouldn’t rely on anyone. That needing a man—trusting a man—was dangerous.

And maybe it felt safer for a while.

But deep down, you still crave love. Connection. A man who shows up fully for you.

Yet the more you harden yourself to avoid getting hurt…
The more you will get hurt.

Because walls don’t just keep out pain.
They also keep out love.

That protection you built? It’s become a cage.

A cage that keeps you from the kind of love your soul is meant to experience.

But here’s the truth:
💫 You don’t attract devotion by being invulnerable.
💫 You don’t receive a man’s strength by proving you don’t need it.
💫 You don’t get the love you crave by pushing it away.

The key isn’t hardening—it’s learning how to soften in the presence of the right man. 🌹♥️
