The world can be heavy. We’ve all been met with coldness when we offered warmth, or betrayal when we gave our trust. In those moments, it’s tempting to build a wall—to let the bitterness of others dim our own light.

But here is the truth: Your kindness is not a weakness; it is your power. Don’t let a bad chapter turn you into a character you don’t recognize. When you remain a good person despite the hurt, you aren’t just surviving—you’re leadng.

Stay soft, stay brave, and never stop being a good person because of bad people.
