Being a socially anxious, extremely self-aware person, I’ve always suffered from self-hatred. I’ve always been my own worst enemy, the biggest bully of all.

But there’s one thing, just one thing, I don’t hate about myself and it’s the one thing everyone’s constantly telling me to change.

You see it gets me in trouble, a lot.

It makes me suffer and feel too deeply.

It makes me impulsive even.

They call it being delusional or even foolish sometimes.

But they don’t know

They don’t understand this is what makes me who I am.

This makes me empathetic and tender but also strong.

It makes me love fiercely and wholeheartedly.

It makes me fight for what I believe in

It makes me chase sunsets, clouds, wildflowers and yes, sometimes humans too.

And that’s okay.

No actually that’s more than okay.

That’s beautiful. that’s how I love.

Now I’m not denying how painful it gets cause god knows it does

I’m just saying this is who I am and I refuse to change.

I’ll always let my heart guide me, and not my mind.

I’ll always be the girl who feels too much, the one who’s too attached and too fragile.

I’ve come to make peace with that.

I hope people can, too.

I hope people can stop blaming me for every little thing that goes wrong in my life

I hope they stop blaming me for other people leaving

And for me hurting.

And not “just getting over it”
