Ever noticed how the world drains the people who feel the deepest? The ones with soft hearts that carry the heaviest loads? Not because they’re weak but because they refuse to become what hurt them.
You see, what we don’t talk about enough is the emotional tax of being good in a selfish world. You show up with love; they show up with agendas. You give to build; they take to survive. It’s like being fluent in a language that no one wants to understand anymore. You speak soul; they speak convenience.
And then you’re left wondering: Is there something wrong with me? No, there’s something right with you.
But right doesn’t always feel rewarding at first. The truth is that having a good heart comes with consequences. You will be underestimated. You will be misused. You will be overlooked by people who confuse your peace with passivity. But here’s the real gut-check: Stop expecting people with shallow intentions to handle your heart like it’s sacred. It’s not their job to protect it. It’s your job to guard it without guilt.
So, no, don’t stop loving. Don’t stop caring. But stop letting your love be the lesson for people who refuse to learn.
