It is a curse to have a heart that feels...

It is a curse to have a heart that feels too much and a mind that overthinks.

It feels true when you’re exhausted by your own emotions and thoughts. When you replay conversations, imagine worst-case scenarios, feel pain too deeply, and care more than others seem to.

A heart that feels deeply is capable of rare empathy, loyalty, and love.
A mind that overthinks is also a mind that analyzes, reflects, and seeks meaning.
The problem isn’t that you feel too much or think too much.

The problem is when those two turn against you instead of working for you.

When, feelings become self-blame. 
Thinking becomes fear. 
Reflection becomes rumination.
Sensitivity + intelligence can feel like a curse in a loud, careless world. But in the right balance, they’re strengths most people don’t have. Maybe it’s not a curse. Maybe it’s power without boundaries yet.
