I wasn't ready for...the bell... All this defending himself, never too much, never too broken, I am who I am..? And then right in the middle he lets it slip that some mornings he wants to tap out entirely, and puts it back down and keeps arguing anyway. I believe the wanting-out more than I believe the hill he says he'll die on, and I think he'd rather I didn't. Keep working the flaws, Elijah. The calm costs what it costs and I'm not going to tell you it doesn't.
“Has the sunset ever been called too pretty? The forest too vast?” That image says everything. Sometimes “too much” is simply what depth looks like to those who are afraid of it. I also appreciated that you didn’t separate freedom from responsibility—you’re not only claiming who you are, but also choosing to keep working on who you become. Powerful and honest.
But, hey.. sometimes .. it does hurt. Even when we’re secure.. these assholes can hurt us. It always passes. Don’t ever let them trick you into trading in your vulnerabilities for their bullshit. ❤️
This is raw, honest, and powerful, my brother. You were never too much—you were simply giving depth to people who were only willing to stay on the surface. I felt every line about the work it takes to become calm after living through chaos. People see the peace, but they do not always understand the battles it took to protect it.
Keep loving deeply. Keep working on yourself. Keep becoming the man you know you were created to be. Your past does not make you less worthy—it proves you survived what could have destroyed you and still chose to care. Never shrink your soul to make shallow people comfortable. Much love and respect, brother. 🤍🙏

With the qualities you possess, Elijah…..you will never be too much. You can never have too much of a GOOD thing. Remember that!!💕😊
That's a good one 💜🤘

Thank you Antonio I really appreciate you! I agree..
Absolutely, everyone has flaws and things they need to work on. Healing is ongoing.. just some people refuse to admit it
Thanks again for reading and being here so consistently
Vulnerability is powerful. It's a trap they built to make you believe it's weakness. It isn't. Keep walking. Good times are coming.
Absolutely agreed! Vulnerability has done nothing but good things for me.
Sure, some people try to use it against you
But if you're secure in yourself and the love you have for yourself, this doesn't matter.
Can't hurt that which is secure..
Exactly right.
