@spiralstudio.com: reading human life through nature.🌱 today's lesson: the stinging nettle and what it can teach us about being difficult. i've been thinking about how often we confuse being kind with being convenient. especially as women, we learn to make ourselves easier to love, even when it means ignoring our own needs. but the stinging nettle reminds me that softness and self-protection can exist together. you can be loving and still have boundaries. kind and still say no.i'm learning that sometimes being called difficult simply means you've finally started considering yourself too. you don't have to become smaller to deserve love. spiral studio
