Never everrrrrr be ashamed of having a big and/or empathetic heart. Love is an infinite source and so is kindness. What people choose to do with the energy you naturally put out shouldn’t be your concern. Be that person anyways
5 THINGS I’VE LEARNED with DATHING;
1: You can feel lonely with someone who talks to you every single day. Communication means nothing if there's no emotional presence behind it.
2: People who haven't healed often punish healthy love for what someone else did to them. Unhealed pain has a way of creating distance where safety actually exists.
3: You can't build a deep connection with someone who avoids emotional depth. At some point, surface level communication starts feeling empty.
4: A lot of people love the idea of a relationship more than the responsibility of one. Love requires emotional accountability and genuine effort.
5: People who fear vulnerability often pull away the moment things start getting real. Not because they don't care, but because real connection requires openness they may not be ready for yet.
Dating taught me that emotional availability has nothing to do with how much someone says they like you. It shows up in how they communicate, how they handle discomfort, and whether they're willing to let themselves be fully seen.
Communication is so beautiful that the lack of it can ruin a relationship. If you’re busy, say it. If you’re upset, express it. If you’re running late, let people know. If you’re unsure about someone, be straightforward. If you don’t understand, ask. It’s so, so important.
Never underestimate the power of genuine communication.
