You feel deeply and that is a gift. You let life touch you. You are compassionate. You ache for those who ache. You hurt with those who hurt. You allow joy to sink into your depths and sorrow to move through you like a river. You let love warm you and hold you. You do not numb or ignore the hard things. You feel it all, and that is a gift. We need your deep feelings. Your empathy. Your compassion. It can feel so heavy sometimes, it can feel like a burden. And sometimes your tender heart aches from the hardness of the world. But please don't ever think your depths are a burden. Please don't ever wish that you didn't care. It is rare and beautiful to care how you do, to love how you do. Oh, you were never meant to harden like the world around you, you are the river meant to bring more depth and care. You make a difference, simply by being you. Please don't ever hide from who you are. Don't hide from your gift.
