An Open Letter to the Girl Who Feels Too Much
Dr. Weil

Hey beautiful,

You’re known as the girl who “feels too much,” but honestly, it’s more of a blessing than a curse. By feeling every little detail of every moment of your life, you learn to appreciate the small things, but you have trouble conquering your emotional side. You’re the person that puts everyone before yourself, even if that means making yourself unhappy. I’m here to tell you that being an emotional person is a rare beauty, and you’re lucky to be in this group of compassionate individuals.

You feel every emotion to the highest degree. Every small misconception hurts, and eventually, each of those moments builds up until your emotions explode... all at once. When you love someone, you love with all of your heart. There's no such thing as hating someone, even if they've repeatedly hurt you. You keep it all to yourself. You forgive but NEVER forget.

People call you sensitive, but you are extremely strong. Emotionally, you deal with more than most people imagine. You rethink every small detail about any/every moment, and then you rethink it three more times. You think about every single word that you've said, and you ask yourself if those words were interpreted incorrectly. Once you've replayed each scenario in your head repeatedly and remember that you can't change the past, you bring yourself to a subtle peace of mind.

You have the capability to love people more effortlessly than most people can. You feel the need to tell your best friends that you love them before you hang up the phone, when you say goodbye, and when you’re their shoulder to lean on. They never have to second guess your feelings toward them, and there's a reason for that. You’re often caught up in feelings of doubt, questioning if you’re loved by those you love. It's just how your brain works. Once again, you overthink everything. Don’t be afraid to tell your people how much they’ve impacted your life, even if they’ve only been around for a short time frame.

You enjoy the good times a little more, but you feel the weight of the hard ones as well. You are easily impacted by even the littlest thing. For example, a small, compassionate gesture could make your whole day in an instant, even when it wasn’t intended to be. But as quick as a blink of an eye, a snarky comment can ruin your week. You’ll replay that moment continuously in your head for a long period of time. It’s very rare that you are capable of brushing it off even when it’s not outwardly noticeable by those around you.

Some may think of you as vulnerable by admitting to this, but in the end, it makes you stronger. You see through others’ artificial love but spot the genuine affection instantly. When you meet someone, you can tell the significant role they will play in your life in that exact moment. You feel the genuineness of their personality radiating towards you and everyone they meet, almost as if it’s a breath of fresh air. Keep those individuals dear to your heart and never let them go, because they’re the diamonds in the rough.

If you could relate to any segment of this article, you’re not alone. You may be one of a kind, but there are countless individuals just like yourself. Never let anyone change the way you act, think, or feel, because what you have is something you’re born with. You were given this gift for a reason. With all of the hate in this world, the endless amounts of love you share are something we need more of.

“And while she never felt quite normal, she was nowhere near crazy. She just loved too much. Choosing to see the world with her heart, instead of her eyes” -Jessica Michelle

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
