What It Means To Have A Big Heart

"Having a big heart is a great thing, but it can also be your greatest weakness that someone will abuse."

"I fall hard. I miss hard. I believe hard.'i hope hard, and I love even harder, but that also gives everyone the biggest chance to take advantage of that. I let people in easily, I trust too easily as my doors are wide open screaming, "welcome!". I think too highly of people, and I believe in every word they say to me. I have the highest of expectations. Why? I'm still trying to figure that out." -tumblr post

I have a big heart.

You go out of your way for anyone and everyone.

You will always be there for whoever at anytime no matter what you are already doing. You bend over backwards without hesitation when someone needs you or asks a favor or ten.

You give more than you get.

You give everyone and everything your all without getting anything in return because that's just who you are.

You can't be on bad terms with anyone.

Nothing bothers you more than not being on good terms with someone. You feel the need to make things right with them even if they don't deserve it.

You can't hurt others because you've been hurt.

You know what it feels like to be hurt, so you refuse to hurt others. You couldn't imagine others going through the things you've been through or seen others go through that you care about. You walk in the shoes of others. You see things from their perspective and make sure they never feel unloved or unwanted or alone. "You've been there, done that".

Everyone comes to you.

Whether they know you or not, everyone easily opens up to you, and shares everything with you. You're who they come to for advice or to talk. You're the shoulder to cry on, and the laugh to make them smile again.

You want the best for everyone.

People trust you and your judgment on things. They know you listen carefully and want them to succeed and be happy. People find comfort and safety around you. They know you're there with open arms to embrace them at all times.

You're often taken for granted despite being the amazing friend that you are.

Anyone would be lucky to have a friend like you, however, people don't always appreciate all you do. You easily get walked on for being the kind hearted person that you are.

You give second chances... or ten.

You see the good in everyone, and continue to give chances even when you've been hurt repeatedly, or they continue to make the same mistakes. You do not give up on people easily.

You get hurt, a lot.

You've accepted that crying isn't an uncommon thing for you. The things that have hurt you, have made you stronger. Although you get your feelings hurt, you wouldn't trade your big heart for anything else. You're built off your experiences.

You are one of the strongest people.

People look up to you because you try to see the positive in negative situations. You don't let the hurt over take who you are and the love you give to others. You deserve to be looked up to for being so loving and caring and kind towards everyone in your life.

Once you care, you always will.

It's just how it is, no matter what has happened. Someone could do you so wrong, and you're still going to be there for them.


It's a blessing and a curse to feel everything so deeply.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
