Trust builds slowly – like a cat choosing not to pounce, and a bird choosing not to fly away.

This work carries the quiet strength of trust, 
the kind that doesn’t shout, but stays.

It speaks of holding your ground,
even when the world feels unsure.
Of meeting life with softness,
while your heart beats a little faster.
Of believing,
not because everything feels safe,
but because something in you still hopes it will be.

This is courage too.
The soft kind.
The kind that whispers:
“I’m still here.”
