Our armor

When we see that our protective armor is cracked or broken, we tend to hate when people try to patch you like you’re running a Nascar race in the pits. Don’t do it to others. You can’t fix anyone. It’s not something humanly possible. Instead, let them see that light can still shine through the cracks. Let them see the light. Remind them how valued they are, how much they are loved, and how much they are needed. Remind them what it feels like to be in the sun, the warmth the radiates on their skin. Sit with them. Talk to them. Remind them that they are not alone. Let them know who and what they are is accepted and cherished. Sometimes, we just need reminders.
