The Cost of Being Too Soft

Jaisha Wallentine

The Doughy Doormat

Dear Crumbheads,

You’ve stretched. Softened. Flattened every need to keep someone close. But now you’re paper-thin and forgotten. The Doughy Doormat gives and gives, hoping they’ll stay. But they only wipe their mess on you.

You don’t have to be flattened to be held.
I once became so agreeable I got folded into a napkin and lost for three days.

Try saying no to one small thing today. Then let that no stand.

Your softness is sacred. It’s not a floor.
