To The Girl Who Feels Too Much

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

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
