When You Loved Without Armor
A broken heart is not evidence of failure.
It is evidence of contactâof love that reached beyond protection.
You didnât wear armor when you loved; you wore hope. đď¸
After the relationship ended, the world felt louder.
Every memory brushed against raw places.
You wondered if being so open left you exposed on purpose. đŹď¸
But armor was never meant to hold a heart.
It keeps you intact, yesâbut untouched.
And you chose touch. đ
Healing begins when you stop mistaking tenderness for naivety.
When you see that your pain didnât come from loving wrong,
but from loving honestly. đ
Watch the water.
Birds donât regret the air that once dropped them.
They rise againâbecause flight is who they are. â¨
And loving without armor?
That was never your flaw.
It was your strength learning how to soar again. đď¸
