Exhausted? Probably

You're the type that finds it hard to love without giving a part of yourself.

This means you find it hard to lose without losing a part of yourself.

So, you become numb.

Or so you think.

Numb.

Because that has to feel better than feeling.

Numb.

Because you have a tendency to patch up hearts that you didn't break with pieces of your own.

Somewhere along the way, you convinced yourself that becoming numb was the solution to make up for all of those pieces you didn't get back.

Your heart is healing.

Does this hurt sometimes? Yes.

Are you exhausted? Probably.

But not numb.

Even in the absence of all of those missing pieces.

It's obvious in the way you strive to leave people better than you found them.

In the way that you smile at strangers.

In the way that you see people beyond the surface.

In the way that you sit content by the water and let it wash away everything but the good.

In the way you get lost in a star-filled sky.

In the way the silliest parts of you come out to make a kid laugh.

In the way you listen so intently when someone is talking.

In the way you live for experiences. Always taking everything in.

Even more so in the way you love to create experiences and memories for others.

It's obvious in the way that you continue to hand out pieces of your heart again and again, even when you don't always get them back.

So, exhausted? Probably

But not numb.
