For me, was not in becoming ever harder, tougher, stronger. It was, instead, in becoming brave enough to look my softness in the eye.

When we speak colloquially of hardness, toughness, and strength, we often conflate the three, but to pull apart the definitions is to understand that there are many ways to resist the forces of change and harm, and many circumstances in which one and not another is called for. I went to metal for the same reasons I went everywhere else: to try to rebuild myself as a creature impervious to damage. To live with the reality that I am made of a soft center, that I am delicate and sensitive and utterly available for harm at every moment of every day, was unbearable to me, and so I tried to disprove this fundamental fact of existence. I tried so hard, until I had to admit to myself that it was impossible, that there is no way to be a human without being vulnerable to hurt. To be a soft thing was my greatest fear, and greatest shame, but it was true all along—the great awakening, for me, was not in becoming ever harder, tougher, stronger. It was, instead, in becoming brave enough to look my softness in the eye.

— Margo Steines, “Brutalities: A Love Story” (W. W. Norton & Company, October 3, 2023)

“This—” she taps my chest over my heart, “what you’re feeling right now—is the best thing that can happen to you. Because when all the pieces of your heart start to come back together, and they will, they’ll be stronger. And much tougher for someone to pierce...So you can be sure that when someone finally does, he’ll have worked for it.”― Penelope Douglas, Birthday Girl
