Your Armor Isn’t Emotional Proof: Acting tough doesn’t stop you from feeling—only from acknowledging it. If you keep sprinting past your emotions, they’ll leak out as anger or burnout. Slow down and face what stings.

Your Tough Isn’t Leakproof

Stop confusing sprinting with strength. Your bravado blocks the entrance, not the flood. You feel everything; you just mute it until it detonates in traffic, in texts, in work you suddenly hate. Armor keeps arrows out and keeps the wound in. Name the ache before it names you. Sit still long enough to hear the thing you keep outrunning breathe.

Fire signs burn clean only with oxygen. Denial steals air. When you barrel through sadness, your body pays: headaches, jaw clenches, rage at nothing. Admitting pain doesn't cancel power; it directs it. Feeling is feedback, like heat on a pan—touch, adjust, continue cooking. Precision beats force. Put your hands down, let the heartbeat rise, and choose your next strike with vision.
