First of all, it is a blessing and not a curse, so stop blaming yourself for the way you feel and to which extent.

We can only be our true self when we accept and acknowledge what we feel and not run away from it. There is plenty already that we are running away from and adding our feelings on that list will do no good.

you notice everything, you notice when someone's ‘hey’ sounds different and you end up worrying all day, you get all these fears running in your head and that is when, overthinking gets to play its part too.

You know when someone is lying because you have spent enough days lying to yourself and everyone around you because it was easier than to explain why you feel what you feel.

I get it, I get it that you want to help everyone out there and you are high on the ‘empathy’ scale and trust me, it is what makes you beautiful.

But, it is okay too to not know what to do when someone is hurt, you can just be there for them and that will be enough. You do not have to punish yourself for not being able to heal someone, the mantra here is to ‘try’ and not worry about the results.

You feel everything to the core, be it sadness or happiness, be it that stranger's warm smile or your mother's broken laugh, be it seeing your crush with their partner or your best friend's heartbreak. Your feelings make you, you and you need to accept them. Embrace what makes you, you.

Let yourself feel, it is humane. You can be the most sensitive person and still know when to stand up for yourself. You can be shy yet not be afraid to show love. You can cry during movies and still laugh at lame jokes.

Maybe life's meant to be taken slowly, but all we do is rush, missing both the sunsets and sunrises, trying to seize what is left of the day.

Maybe new beginnings aren't that scary or going back to old memories is not always sad. Maybe all we got to do is breathe and enjoy the beginnings and cherish the ends.

Befriend your feelings and be proud of how much you give. Be the way you are because you have a pure heart.

Love,

Someone who feels as much.
