Empathetic to a fault

I've realized something about myself,,,

My empathy has no boundaries.

I've decided to take a break from social media for a little... or at least cut back on my use of it.

I want to work on standing up for myself and healthily voicing my concerns, thoughts, and feelings to others.

It's easy to put up a facade on social media. I want you all to see only the best, most admirable parts of me. But that's not being honest. In fact, a lot of the times I don't have a filter, am too easily irritated, stubborn, and act cowardly.

See these flaws. Accept these flaws. We all have flaws.

Because as I found from a random post on Instagram, "Empathy without boundaries is self-destructive"

and as always, have a safe weekend.

By the way, I'm proud of you. You are doing what is best for you, and you should not be ashamed of that. Everyone deserves to be happy, you included. Cheers to a healthy recovery and to us learning and growing from whatever hardships the universe continues to throw our way.
