Today’s entry (Sept 13) in The Daily Stoic hit me at the right time. I’ve been building my own “fortress” — piece by piece, habit by habit — and this chapter reminded me that the real strength is forged in the moments of testing. It’s neat how the reading lined up with where I’m at right now.

One line that stuck with me: when people cry or act out, they’re not just asking for help — they’re asking you to affirm it’s okay to feel that way. I carried this into a real conversation with a friend, and it shifted how I showed up. Emotions are information, not something to fear.

Great read
