To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness, it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate. It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled. There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings. Those who are at times described as being a 'hot mess' or having 'too many issues' are the very fabric of what keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world. Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.","author":"Anthon St. Maarten","tags":["authenticity","caring","caring-for-others","caring-too-much","compassion","damaged-goods","damaged-people","damaged-souls","dysfunctional-society","dysfunctional-world","emotional","emotional-intelligence","emotional-pain","emotionally-disabled","empath","empathic","empaths","empathy","empathy-diversity","feeling","feelings","highly-sensitive-person","hot-mess","humane","humaneness","new-age","new-world","sensitive","sensitiveness","sensitivity","society","society-humanity","society-problem","tears-crying","weakness","weakness-and-strength","weakness"],"id":255468,"author_id":"Anthon+St.+Maarten"},{"text":"When the week begins, try your best to let your best overcome your worst and that is the best.
