An empath in my eyes would be the strongest and most purest soul. They are the oldest souls that know only to give. They empty themselves into others. They are always available for those in need. They are someone who’ll always make time for you from their busy schedule. They are the perfect individual who’ll make you feel loved and cared for and will never shy away from showing it to the world in the most extraordinary way. They give and give and give in a world where everyone only knows how to take and if that doesn’t work out, snatch. They’ll be your banter -if you allow them to be- to gift you happiness every step of the way. They’ll pick up your broken pieces and be the glue that’ll help you put yourself back and put your pieces together. They’ll color your life a rainbow. They’re the ones who always put in effort even if you don’t and even long after you stop.
And despite being the one who’s always available for everyone & being the one who spreads only love, sometimes, they’re the loneliest ones. Sometimes they’re the ones most deprived of love not coz they don’t have people who admire them but coz they’re lonely in their idea of love that eludes the present civilization.
They’re the strongest most beautiful soul who survive even with spears in their heart. Their soul survives with bruises and a tattered skin. They’re the most heartbroken ones with their broken pieces sticking together in a haphazard manner. They look like a kintsukuroi pot, a piece of art.
And despite all the pain and wounds, they still don’t know how to stop. They don’t know when to stop making an effort, to stop investing themselves in others and giving themselves out so freely, to start saying no, to start putting themselves before others when the time comes, to decide to stop waiting for someone to fill that void, to decide to start healing.
To all such people, you’re the strongest little being on the face of this earth, you’re going to survive this, you’re going to heal to a point you won’t feel that void inside your chest and you wouldn’t be engulfed by this sudden urge to fill it. To all such people, I see you, I acknowledge you & I celebrate your soul. Hang in there.
