The Hardest You Could Be
And you will find no fear here, in unkind words or the hardness of others.
And you will find no sadness here, in the meanness of the world, in the anger that comes from those who feel small.
And you will find no hurt here, in a million insults or a single, softly spoken lie.
Because only a hard heart shatters.
Only a hard heart, breaks.

it may feel like mine is broken - when in fact its just making room for more love.
only a hard heart shatters..
only a hard heart breaks..
i love this.
Awesome, this is my favourite post so far!
I know you're fine and maybe you've even gotten over it, but I haven't.
I'm so sorry you didn't win the award. I really am, truly very sorry.
I could have (and should have) done more and I didn't. And now that it's over, it's so heart-wrenching to know that I took advantage of my own freedom, my own trivial life and work not to be able to just send in that once-a-day vote, which would have cost me no more than 5 seconds.
Again, you've probably already gotten over this but it's been consuming my mind for the past day now and I need to tell you this. I'm sorry, and if it were to happen again, I'd give everything I could. This is my promise.
Much love.
Please don't beat yourself up over a stupid award, I have a few already and to be entirely honest with you, I value one single kind comment here more than all of them put together.
I'm sorry I cared so much about the damn thing in the first place or that it forced me to spam the people I love.
You could've voted for everyone else except me and I'd still love you the same. True story.
if my heart isn't broken.. it must just be me thats broken...
Mr. Thomas,
Thank you for these very poignant words. You just helped me decide what to do with my recent predicament. and this is for the best.
another masterpiece :)
lots of love
will you please help me soften it up and make it less fragile?
it'll be the only favour i'd ask from you and i'd owe you my whole life if ever you'd be willing to at least give it a try.
hello. where are you? it's been all blue and dreamy lately.
I really love this one. It shows the importance of turning the other cheek and showing love instead of retaliation.
I love the words you write and the photographs of love that you share. Your words make me shiver and swallow sadness. To be open to the world -- it is brave, and giving, and inspiring. Thank you for doing what you do. It's not enough to say thank you, but there it is -- thank you. Thank you.
This is the best post to date, I think.
These were the exact words I so desperately needed to hear.
I just sent my first ever boyfriend home since he was pushing me into having sex with him once again. I'm not a coin operated sex doll, I need someone who lets me take my time.
sadness.
I love you.
My heart is not hard, rather it gets bruised and heals and keeps on pumping.
Even as the usual assaults occur.
I think I'm probably the only person that doesn't understand this :(
can someone please explain this one?
wow.
amazing.
a gift.
thank you.
i have nothing to give you in return.
That was an amazing post. makes you really think. You have to be soft, because like you said - only a hard heart shatters.. only a hard heart breaks. Beautiful.
I'm trying my hardest. No more pain. Me.
No fear. None.
