A Heart That Feels: Strength or Weakness?
Why do I feel so much?
When I came home from work after a tiring day, I went for a shower. Once I had changed and put on my dinner, my mother and I sat in the living room and watched a show she loved dearly.
After a few minutes, an emotional scene unfolds between a mother and daughter. In the scene, the daughter pleads with her mom to stop blaming herself for everything happening. Rather, she tells her that you have always been my strength. Please don’t become my weakness.
I don’t know why that scene just touched my heart and a well of emotions erupted. As if I could feel every word and the emotion behind it.
Its then I thought, is being this sensitive to emotions a strength or a weakness?
Sometimes, people bring out the worst in you. It’s because of the way they behave and take undue advantage of your kindness. Sometimes, they put you down in front of others because they feel threatened by your capabilities. So, the best way to put you down is to criticize you at every given opportunity.
Such moments upset me. So much, so that the only way I find some joy is through a warm shower and some dark chocolate. But while I enjoy the slight bitterness of the chocolate, I wonder, why do I feel so much?
