Being an empath is hard.
It’s exhausting. It’s overwhelming.
Because when you feel everything so deeply, you don’t just walk through the world.
You carry it 🤍
You carry the pain, the grief, the heaviness, and the loneliness that you see in others - And sometimes (every time) it feels like it’s going to crush you.
You just want to save the world. You want to fix what’s broken. You want to soothe every hurting soul that you pass by.
And for probably as long as you can remember, you’ve been told that it’s too much. That you’re ‘too sensitive’. That you care ‘too much’.
That your soft heart is a weakness in a world that only values sharp edges.
But I’ve stopped believing that lie. And I want you to do the same.
Because to care about this world - In a time when it’s easier to shut down, to scroll past, to harden your heart to its happenings?
it is not a flaw. It is a superpower.
To love so hard (and so big) that you ache to wrap your arms around the world - That’s not weakness, Love.
That’s courage.
And no matter what anyone says -
To love should never EVER be considered a flaw.
So, if you’re like me, feeling the weight of it all -
Don’t shrink. Don’t harden. Don’t apologize.
And please always remember -
The world doesn’t break because people love too much.
It breaks when people stop.
