Is having a soft heart a gift or a curse? A thread.

A curse sometimes because you feel all of the worlds pain. In fairy tales curses can be broke but this isn’t a fairytale and most of us live with this for a lifetime. Most people use the term “you are soft” as a insult. To hear someone say those words sucks.

Did you know that most people with soft hearts feel for people they don’t even know in ways that they didn’t even know they could? Did you know we carry the burdens of this world effortlessly? And smile while doing it. Did you know we almost always feel like we are too much?

Too much for or friends, too much for our families and too much for our significant others. It’s hard. We would rather give every single bit of light that we have to end darkness and burnout than to see someone else fade away.

On the best days it’s a gift. You see beauty and light and love in places that most people don’t. You care for people in ways that they crave and how most have never in their life have been cared for. We are natural born caregivers. We just want to help and never hurt.

Most of the time we find ourselves cleaning up other people’s messes. Physically and emotionally. We are fixers. We naturally try to fix people and that is our downfall. It’s hard being “soft”. So the next time you use that as a insult I hope you remember this thread.
