There’s a saying I’ve always loved: “a soft place to fall.”
To me, it meant a place where you could just be — safe, accepted, and loved no
matter what.
For much of my life, I longed for that kind of
safety. I looked for it in relationships, in family, in friendships. And over
time, I realized something both hard and freeing: I wasn’t meant to keep
falling — I was meant to create a soft place to be.
The “safe places” others offered often came with strings attached — quiet expectations that I give something in return. It was never truly unconditional.
This past month, I was reminded again how rare clarity and honesty really are. Someone came into my life who said they were sent to help, and I believed that.
But by the end, I was left feeling more alone than before — especially when my birthday came and went in silence.
In the middle of all that, I found myself
helping a woman in a wheelchair. Looking back, I see that part of me wanted to
prove — to myself and others — that I am good at solving things, no matter what
was being projected onto me.
Later, I went to a friend simply because I
needed a hug — a caring, human moment of connection. She said, “Maybe they
didn’t want to hurt you, so they said yes and didn’t follow through.”
And I understood that. But I also knew a deeper truth:
When we act out of fear of hurting someone, we often create more pain.
The universe doesn’t hear “don’t.”
It only hears what follows.
So when someone says, “I don’t want to hurt her,” the focus — and the vibration
— is still on hurt.
It takes so much more energy to avoid the truth than to simply speak it with love.
That’s why radical clarity is, in truth, the kindest choice we can make.
✨ This is why I love the animals.
With them, there’s no pretending, no confusion, no second-guessing. They either
like you or they don’t. They sense energy instantly, and if something shifts,
they let you know.
It’s honest.
It’s clean.
It’s kind.
And I realized — that’s the kind of clarity I
want in all my relationships, human and otherwise.
So this is my new standard of service and of life:
I will be a soft place to be — not a place for vague promises or
half-truths.
I am here for real connection — grounded in honesty, courage, and love.
Because we don’t fall into alignment.
We create it. 💫
💡 Reflection
for You:
Where in your life are you accepting “kind vagueness” instead of the truth that
could set you free?
What would shift if you allowed radical clarity to guide your next conversation
— or your next act of creation?
