What About My Emotions?

THE UNLISTED ME: A Tale by Deep Thinker

As I lie down on this cushiony bed created by the emerald green grass, the brisk wind acting as the cooling agent, and the mellow voice of stars dangling in the sky, the fireflies shining through the darkness of the night. Every time I gave a piece of myself to someone I would always come down here and these stars, fireflies, the dreamy night sky everybody would listen to me with peace, dedication and in return, they would reply with the rumbling of thunder and with a package of soothing rains. But sometimes I wondered if these rains were happy rains or a sign to help them, a cry for the grief that nobody ever listened to them too and all they did was bring harm to mother nature.

Well, I guess I will never be able to find that out, so, for instance, I will consider them as “RAINS OF JOYOUSNESS “.

DEAR EMPATHS……..FROM STRANGER………

Dear Empaths,

This one’s for you, from someone unknown who knows what it’s like to give your everything and listen to people, their problem’s their situation’s and in return get nothing but a burden of more WHY’S., WHO’S, TENSIONS AND EMOTIONS.

I am Helpful, Still Facing Tough Time 😢

Do you also remain woken up with the stars when it’s time for them to come and jingle and be all enthu-cutlet and talk to them about everything because they are your only companion who will listen to you at 3 in the night!? Tough times isn’t it? oh no! not only for them but for you too, crying yourself to bed every night now because you are so emotionally drained out.

It Feels Like “I am a Vacuum Machine”

I know lately, you are busy dealing with your friend’s break-up, you are busy in understanding her emotions and thoughts besides the fact that you and your boyfriend are also on the verge of break-up and nobody knows about it because you are busy understanding everybody else’s situations. You have become that “VACUUM MACHINE” which is taking all the dirt in and its cleanser has been trapped.

I know you don’t like opening up your emotions, feelings to anybody and you keep it bottled up somewhere, your friends have termed you as the therapist of your group, you are loved by every friend, you don’t struggle to make friends because just when someone needs venting out you are there available to them like an angel.

I sometimes wonder if God put a lot of empathetic caffeine in us than other people, sometimes I feel like we are adorned with a blessing but sometimes it feels like a curse to me.

Yes nobody asked how you were doing because that smile would wash away all the freckles from your face.

But enough of those sleepless nights, those talking with the stars, yes I know these are unprecedented times but draining yourself into helping others is not the right turn around, it’s time that you take a step back from all of this and start caring about your mental health too which is draining out like it’s some water from a leaking pipe.

“BREATHE” RELAX” “ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR FEELINGS TOO”.

No, I am not saying don’t be there for people when they need you but after you have had that coffee of “me time” and maybe then you will be able to empathize or help them more.

and cheers to us to you we are doing it really well just need to start thinking about ourselves more.

“YOU” NEED A SAVING……….

Hey you, yes you let me tell you a story of A Cinderella who needed saving from not a stepmother or other monsters but from herself, I call it the story of “YOU” NEED SAVING…..

Once upon a time, there lived a girl named Cinderella, her mother had passed away so she lived with her stepmother. She was an “EMPATH” who used to be there for everyone, who used to understand everybody’s feelings but wasn’t vocal about her own. So one day while going on her way to park she met these two little munchies named “EMPATHY MUNCH” and “I SAVIOR MUNCH” they both were fighting over something so little Cinderella decided to sort their little fight. The fight was about how empowering empathy munch was over I saviour munch…

The Empathy munch won’t let I saviour to think about herself once and would always put her in front of I saviour munch which made the I saviour munch sad and distressed and abandoned and which led to to a lot of mental health problems to I saviour munch. So after listening to all of this Cinderella gave a simple solution to it she said that just like if the right amount of salts, masala and other ingredients are added in a dish the food doesn’t taste good, just like that empathy munch you listen sometimes to I saviour munch give her the space she needs and keep it balanced just like everything in this world is balanced.

Cinderella Learnt a Lesson

That day Cinderella learnt a lesson too that these two munchies lived inside her too and that for long she had been overpowering the I munch. She understood that it was time to stop drinking that black dark coffee and start balancing the coffee powder and milk within it. From then on cinderella who used to remain sad, who didn’t have anybody to talk to started remaining happy, her mental health too gives in a good jump.

Moral of the Story…

So the moral of the story is being empathetic towards someone is not bad but dwelling yourself so much that you cry yourself to bed, your mental health is getting disturbed, you are being a bag full of feelings and emotions of your own isn’t what we need. We need to balance out the extra masala in our tadka dal and make it a little less spicy although being that tasty and mesmerizing.
