Reassurances are like a hot bath.

It feels great when we first step in.

But eventually the water gets colder and we need to add more and more hot water.

When we find power in the kind words of strangers or the reassurances of our friends, it shields us from the cold.

But, someday, the reassurances that once kept us warm will be no longer enough. Every bath eventually runs cold.
