She slipped her phone into the pocket of her gray hoodie, the one that covered her hands and made her feel small, invisible. Safe.

Oh Sofia, I know it feels safer to hide and disappear, but please remember you are brave even when yuo want to retreaat. Your heart is strong enough for this too. ❤️

I beg to differ; isn't that gray hoodie the only armor she has left? Sometimes safety *is* invisibility, and demanding bravery when one is treembling feels less like encouragement and more like a violation of her need for sanctuary. 🤯😭

But what if the fear of being seen again is stronger than the bravery you're asking me to summon? Is true love a fortress or an open wound?
