If you're reading this, it's probably because you saw the headline and thought, "Wow that is totally me." Let me just tell you, you are not alone! Over the past year I have learned that my best friend and I have several things in common. The biggest thing we have in common is our huge heart. So if that's you too, you're not the only one out there.
1. When you love, you love with your whole heart
Compassionate is a good adjective to describe you. You are fully invested in all of your relationships and friendships. You don't halfway do things, you put yourself out there and wear your heart on your sleeve. If you're like me, you probably get attached too quickly. That person quickly becomes a part of your life and you fully embrace that. Loving with your whole heart means getting your whole heart broken sometimes as well. Whether it's a break up or a friendship ending, you take it pretty hard at first.
2. You are empathetic
When your friends are hurting, you are hurting right there with them. If your best friend has relationship troubles, you cry right there with them. If they're going through a breakup, so are you. You don't mean to get so involved, it's just part of your nature. You've probably been known to hate the same people that your best friends hate as well.
3. You are giving
Nice gestures aren't just a every once in a while kind of thing. You do them frequently. Whether it's for your parents, for your siblings, your best friend, or even your pets, you always give with a cheerful heart. You have no problem with sharing (even if you are an only child like me). Whether it's your clothes, jewelry, makeup, whatever else girls hold near and dear to their heart ya know, you're not afraid to lend it to a friend.
4. You also have a servant's heart
Except for when it comes to lines for food. Totally kidding, but not really. You are always down to serve and do it with a smile on your face. Other people may just see it as you being nice but to you it almost feels obligatory. Serving others isn't a chore, it's a habit. Back to that line for food thing; personally that is where I struggle with having a servant's heart the most. Girls gotta eat ya know.
5. You wish everyone had a heart like yours
It's hard for you to understand why everyone doesn't do nice things for their significant other all the time (especially when it's your significant other not doing the nice things). I can't tell you how many times my best friend and I have had the conversation about how we wished our boyfriends would reciprocate all of the nice things we do/did for them. If you're anything like us, you've probably thought the same. You know deep down the only people that can truly make you overjoyed are the people like you, the ones with huge hearts.
People like us get along well with each other. It's most likely because we know that we want to be treated how we treat others. We participate in "The Golden Rule" as some called it in elementary school. So here's to you, person with the huge heart. Keep on doing you, despite not getting your treatment reciprocated. Continue loving others with all you have, empathizing like nobody's business, giving and serving like it's not a big deal. To someone else, your kindness and huge heart could be a huge deal.
