You choose to see the world through your heart instead of your eyes.

To The Girl Who Feels Too Much
Molly Bennett

Hey you,

Some say you're too sensitive but truth is you just feel too much, ever since you were little you probably remember movies, television shows, books, music, small things, big things, all affecting you more emotionally than everyone else. Every word, every action, and every energy goes straight to your heart. When you feel too much you feel like you have too much soul for the body God gave you, the smallest thing can make you feel like you are about to burst with emotions. People laugh, or make comments about how you are "too sensitive" but as overwhelmed as you feel most of the time you wouldn't change the way you are. You love so much because you feel so much. You choose to see the world and people through your heart instead of your eyes.

You don't know how to feel anything other than intense. Every single conversation, thought, feeling is so intense. You don't know how to experience something without thinking and feeling too much. You are always searching, struggling to find the meaning in everything. Though you know some things don't deserve your time and attention, you still pursue them, it's who you are. You are passionate, deep, genuine, and you should be okay with that...you should love that.

Never let anyone make you feel bad or doubt yourself because of who you are and how you feel. Stay strong and find peace in the fact that all of you, every single little bit of you is true. You are not the kind of girl who wants to be eye candy...you want to be soul food. You want to feed others and share your emotions and feeling with them.

Please hear me girl: The world has enough women who know how to do their hair and focus on the shallow things. The world needs more people like you who are willingly to do hard and holy things.

It's okay to be soft, you don't have to let the world make you hard. You don't have to put on a shell of yourself to make others happy. You don't have to let feeling your emotions and pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. You were blessed with the gift of feeling so much that you have to share your heart, be cautious in sharing it, but share it to help soften the hard hearts of others.

Don't be offended when they call you a fragile flower. Instead, weather the storms, reach for the sun and show them the strength and determination it takes for flowers to truly grow. Let your soul change the world one heartfelt conversation at a time, fragile flower. Remember to ask God "What can I learn?" Instead of "Why me?" It is a much better place to park your mind.

Stay tender,

Love your biggest supporter

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
