No, no, being openly emotional and caring is never weak. It is always brave. Always.

Something my writing professor once told me; It takes a brave soul to write themselves out on paper and have the world to see them and all their flaws.

And in this instance, one of not writing but of being human, being emotionally open and willing to give is far more brave than being cold and abrasive. You open your heart to those in need and you give when you need someone to give to you to. And that takes a lot of guts.

There is a place in this world for people like you. There also needs to be more people like you. I, for one, wish I could be so open.

Know we're proud of you.
