Love what you do and do what you love. Sometimes all the shit you\u2019ve been through in your life has taught you to put on that invisible shiny armor and walk with confidence. Sometimes I just want to throw that \u201carmor\u201d away, but now I really don\u2019t want to throw it in the trash. I wanted to fight it for so long and rip the tin off of my chest, but I don\u2019t feel that need anymore. If I let it fall apart, it would be like leaving my loving heart behind to rot. Armor is not a bad thing, it\u2019s a costume worn for turmoil, and can be refurbished for triumphant times. It is a meaningful symbol of having survived a shitty phase of life. Having to wear \u201carmor\u201d before age 22 (even before age 13) is not a desirable task to do, but all I can say is, \u201cI did it.\u201d Sometimes leaving hard earned armor to the side is a sign of internal weakness of the self. It\u2019s not an actual physical garment, it\u2019s an invisible concept of survival. Over time, your inner strength surfaces, simply because you wore the shiny armor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Please be honest with yourself.
