One of the downsides of being an emotionally intelligent person is that u will be able & willing to see & understand things from everyone else's point of view, but ppl are rarely capable or willing to give that same grace of understanding towards u, which is frustrating at times.
It’s important that you read classic literature and myths and folklore and the great poets because then all their wisdom and weirdness and passion will be rattling around in your head and you will become a poem. YOU are the data center and no one can take that from you.
Some pple are natural criers. They cry when excited, they cry in grief, they cry in laughter, they cry in rage, they literally cry at any slight emotional experience or state. This is how their bodies process experiences in real time. And that’s okay.
