The Power to Hurt.

If someone grants you the power to make them cry, remember to be kind.
Be soft with your words, be forgiving in your judgement, be gentle with your hands.
Hold and soothe and ease.
This is your only job. This is your only duty.
The power to hurt someone isn't a power; it is an obligation.
You are charged with proving to them that vulnerability isn't a sin, and love can be unconditional.
You are Atlas; you carry their world on your shoulders.
You have lost the right to hurt them, because they trust you enough to give you the power to hurt them.
Your charge will last until they are strong enough to realize their own person, and will continue after that too.
Be kind.
Be gentle.
Be forgiving.
It is your sole duty.
You aren't allowed to forget it.
