Highly sensitive people are too often perceived as weaklings or damaged goods. To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.

If you're going through a hard time in life, no matter the severity, please don't face the struggle alone. Give your pain a voice, this is a odd place for me to write this, but maybe you see this, maybe you need someone. Send me a message, let me hear you.
