Sometimes I feel too much. I take things to heart. I drain myself for the sake of others. But you can’t fill others cups if your own is empty. ‘Don’t take things so personally,’ they say. It’s ok to feel things though. Life is ups and downs and everything in between. And if your emotions overwhelm you, feel them, let them go, and then breathe. And let the next feeling take over. It’s ok to stay in your head. It means your empathetic. You’re highly perceptive of others’ feelings. It’s a strength, not a weakness. So don’t bury it. Don’t hide it. Have a heart full of love to freely give, and know you’ll get through it all if you allow yourself to follow your heart. Let that fuel your fire.
The rain. Often this represents gloom, sadness, depression even. But I like to think of it in the way it comes about in a spring shower, as it did on these photos. The rain has to come before the sun can return, shining as brilliantly as the fire within you. The clouds have to blow over before the sun can appear, illuminating as brightly as the blaze within you. And then you’ll BLOOM.
