September 4, 2024

The door to our hearts doesn’t have to close after painful lessons from the past. Those experiences don’t make us bitter or untrusting; they simply help us refine who we allow inside. It’s about alignment with values, understanding boundaries, and respecting the person we’ve grown into. Like renovating a front porch, we raise the steps, and only those willing to meet us where we are will find their way through the open door.

Our hearts remain open, but the path to reach them is now built with care and awareness.
