To the Girl Who Wears Her Heart on Her Sleeve,
IT IS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY! IT IS OKAY TO WEAR YOUR HEART ON YOUR SLEEVE! I tell you it is okay for something to hurt more than it should. You are a special gem. You feel things that many people don’t. It may suck, but I tell you darling that it makes you unique. You have a bravery to share your heart with people who may not understand. You hurt. You fear. You don’t understand. You are the one that sees light in the darkness.
I will be one of the first people to tell you that feelings are disastrous. They can cause you so many problems and heartaches. You feel everything. You let people in that you believe will be trustworthy and with that person comes every feeling imaginable. You have your highs and lows. You feel the good things, but then you can also feel the worst. No matter how hard you try Sweet Heart, you can’t push those feelings aside. You are going to feel them and people are going to be able to see how you feel on your face. This does not make you weak.
When it comes to relationships, things can become difficult. You can be seen clingy because you want to get to know the person and you want to get to know every little thing. When you love, you love with your whole heart. Girl, I tell you that it is okay to love with your whole heart. You pour yourself into that person and you may get broken, but imagine how amazing it will be when you find Mr. Right! You are an all or nothing person. When you give your all to the right person, they will see that and reciprocate.
Wearing your heart on your sleeve does not make you naïve, it makes you strong, genuine, and real. You won’t always act like you have it together and people will take notice and will confide in you. It increases the quality of your friendships. Darling, when you tell others what you are feeling, you are showing courage. You are sharing a piece of you that individual notice and will talk to you about.
Darling, don’t let anyone tell you what to feel or what you shouldn’t feel. You are you. You can’t turn feelings off. You are going to feel what you feel. You are special. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.
I am still learning that it is okay to wear your heart on your sleeve and that it is okay no to be okay. I know that it is difficult, but I am here to say that you should not be scared or worried about who you are. No one can be you.
Sincerely,
The Girl Who Also Wears Her Heart on Her Sleeve
