Being Empathetic

Being an empath can be challenging and isolating experience. I am highly sensitive, and easily pick up on the emotions and energies of those around me, often feeling overwhelmed by the weight of others' feelings. This can make it difficult for to establish and maintain healthy boundaries, leading to emotional exhaustion and burnout if not managed properly.

However, being an empath can also be a deeply rewarding experience. By tuning into the emotions of others and offering a listening ear or a comforting presence, I have had a profound impact on those around me, even over distance.

Cultivating self-care and self-awareness is crucial for maintaining emotional well-being. This may involve setting boundaries, prioritizing time for rest and relaxation, and engaging in activities that nourish my own spirit and energy. By taking care of myself, I can continue to offer support and compassion to others while also staying grounded and resilient in the face of challenging emotions.

There is a bit of sadness to this, but it has it's own rewards as well.

peace, love, and light.

"If one day…you never hear from me again, just know it was never because I stopped loving you.

I loved you with everything I had. You were my first thought in the morning, my last prayer at night.

I could’ve chosen anyone. I had chances, I had options… But I chose you. Every time. Even when it broke me. Even when you didn’t choose me back.

I stayed. Through the silence, through the pain. I kept loving you, quietly, endlessly.

So if one day I’m just gone…I hope you find peace in my absence; the peace my love was never able to give you.

Because all I ever wanted was for you to be happy, even if it wasn’t with me."
