⚡Your softness is not your weakness; it is the quiet superpower that allows you to bloom beautifully in a world made of concrete.

🔥In a world that tells us to harden our edges and build walls, choosing to remain soft is the bravest thing you can do. 🌸🧱

🌟If you’ve ever been told you care "too much" or feel "too deeply," this is your sign: your empathy is your magic. Keep blooming, beautifully and unapologetically, right where you are. 🌱✨

⚡This speaks to the highly sensitive person (HSP) or anyone who has felt broken by life's harshness. It reframes emotional sensitivity from a liability into a profound strength.

"Don't you look handsome?"

A soft laugh acts as a first response from V - she's heard it a few times, now and again - but to hear it come from Yui, who, in this moment all cleaned up and dressed up for a night out, looks so good, it almost makes her blush.

"You're one to talk," V quips with a widening smile. She's donned a sport jacket and slacks, boots for that little bit of height, and her sides have been cleaned up just the day before, smooth along the scalp. It's technically a date, planned and everything for dinner and dancing, and maybe a ride out to the Badlands under the stars if they don't get too distracted.

Still, she can't help but to get into Yui's space, taking that adoring gaze as an invitation to do so, drawing up just a few inches taller than the other woman, adorned in her usual bright colours, but this time in a bit of a dressier fashion. She also catches a hint of a perfume, or shampoo - whatever it is, V can't tell but it's her scent that drives her just the right kind of crazy - keeping her right where she is.

"You look good, cariño..." Cybernetic eyes fall to the light gloss upon Yui's lips, and while they haven't even left the shop yet, temptation comes and takes hold, and she looks from Yui's eyes to her mouth and back again, as if asking silent permission - and when granted, she tilts her head just right to kiss her ever so gently at first, but the fingers gliding along her shaved sides encourages her to deepen it, humming against her until finally, parting to take a breath. Tongue comes to wet her lips, and tastes cherry... or strawberry?

V's smile widens then, brightening her expression.

I'm sensitive, I get hurt easily. I attach to people easily, I believe in trust until its broken. I become afraid to my core when things spiral out of control. I live like a child until situations or people teach me to harden to them.

♡

Then I wait for that hardening to peel off, bit by bit over time. I cry it out. I write essays analyzing my feelings and events that went down. I search up articles based on the whim of a question in my mind. I allow myself to feel my emotions intensely so they may teach me what they have to.

I can't let myself harden. There is just too much beauty here to become blind to. Yet time and time again when we soften ourselves, there's always another pain waiting to hurt us again.

♡

Life isn't life without suffering. Every program ever taught to us was a way for us to harden, to trust less, love less, push people away. Every twisted desire coaxed out of us, told as if it were our own. Every person who didn't know better than to hurt us.
