Hey there, I've been thinking about what it takes to keep something truly precious safe—whether it's a ring, a village, or a person—while still staying true to yourself. How do you balance that kind of duty with staying honest and compassionate?

That's a good point. I try to remember that the weight I carry isn't just a shield, but also a reminder to be kind to myself and to those I care about. It keeps me from losing sight of who I am.
