@prairie.barbarian: Strength isn’t wearing your armor forever. It’s knowing when to take it off. For a long time, I thought strength meant carrying everything alone. Now I’m learning that real strength is different. It’s choosing to care, even when there’s no guarantee. It’s allowing yourself to be vulnerable, even when you’ve been hurt. It’s noticing the little things that make someone else’s day easier—not because you have to, but because you’ve chosen to be that kind of man. Your armor will protect your heart. It will also keep people at arm’s length. A hug. A hand to hold. A quiet morning beside someone who matters. None of those happen through steel. They happen through trust. The strongest men I know aren’t afraid to wear armor. They’re wise enough to know when to set it down. That’s stewardship. That’s becoming. #PrairieBarbarian #TheOath #Stewardship #QuietStrength #Becoming

🤔🤔 Definitely something to consider. When would one know when the armor can come off. That would be my struggle. Really not interested in being let down again.

I think sometimes I break down and I know when I’m breaking down, I turn to my soon to be wife. I carry countless men’s lives under my hands in the oilfield. I need her most days. To loose me rather than a hole crew. She understands when I rest my head

My parents had a beautiful relationship. They were married 70 years and my mother always said it's the little things.

Wenn wir, ob Mann oder Frau, unseren Schutzpanzer ablegen, machen wir uns alle verletzbar. Aber dadurch werden wir auch offen für Neues und für die Liebe. Wir müssen dieses Risiko eingehen, um Neues zu beginnen.

Not easy to take armor down when you have used it for so long to protect yourself but it’s needed to live a new life.

it goes both ways. even though its scary. after 4 years of fixing and 15 years of not having that hug that lets you exhale. it's time to drop that Armour. I dont need. I finally want.
