Those who prepare for difficulty are rarely broken by it, they know that rain does not betray the sky as they hold no fantasy that the world owes them comfort or ease
Those who prepare for difficulty are rarely broken by it, every twist, every wound, every hard turn was imagined before hand so when the storm comes they simply nod and carry on

Not bullet points, not steps, not a path out but just a listening ear
It’s a storm that needs shelter not evacuation that we often miss entirely
What they asked for was empathy not expertise, just let them fell felt
