Self defense...

Our Daily Challenge - "Spiky":

 

Have you ever noticed how crusty we sometimes act on the outside when we're feeling soft and squishy on the inside? Do these barriers really protect us or do they imprison us? I think letting people see our fears and struggles opens the door for genuine, deep friendship. It's scary, but worth it! Even this sweet gum pod needs to break down its tough exterior and crack open to release seeds to propagate. There's a lesson there, I think.
