“There’s this idea going around that strength is all

about appearances, pretending nothing matters and

feigning great resilience. But that could not be

further from the truth. Survival at its essence requires

softness and rest. And if we do not allocate sufficient

time for healing we will find that in the future we are

dismantled by even the most trivial of hardships.”
