Empath Confession 🍋
My biggest red flag?
I forget how people treated me as soon as they start being nice again.
It’s not because I don’t remember the pain… it’s because my heart is wired for hope.
I see the good in people. I hold onto their potential.
And the moment someone softens, I soften too.
But here’s the truth I’m learning:
Just because someone’s tone changes doesn’t mean their patterns have.
Kind words don’t erase cruel actions.
And being an empath doesn’t mean I have to keep reopening the door just because someone knocked nicely this time.
I’m allowed to love with my whole heart and protect it too.
