To the people who get attached too easily,

To the people who get attached too easily,

You've probably decided to yourself a thousand times that you aren't going to get so attached so soon, that the next time you meet someone you are going to hold yourself together, but every damn time you end up getting too close with people who don't even care and you're the one who is left with all the hurt and regret.

This is for you, to the people who have to stop themselves from caring too much, from being too empathetic, from being good, from being human.

The ones who've built walls around themselves not letting everyone in but only the people who are willing to climb. Who has been so hurt they're now scared to open up.

The ones who don't keep a count of how much love they were getting all along while they were busy giving and all they got in return was a pain. And that makes you wonder if something's wrong with you if you are too much?

You aren't, you aren't too much. It's the world that's too messed up, too busy. The people are too good at taking things for granted and keeping calculations of all the love and care, giving not more, or rather less than what they receive. Nothing's wrong with you, you're too good for all the chaos, maybe. Because a person like you shouldn't be someone who feels hurt, left alone with regret but someone who is cherished, who is treasured, who deserves all the love. And if people cannot understand your worth, you should.

Be your biggest fan, and keep those you know care closer. Easier said than done, but it's you who has to decide to not let your happiness depend on someone else. Give that extra care you give to people who don't deserve it, to yourself, to people who actually care.

Set your own boundaries, and don't let everyone in.

Your heart is too precious to get broken so many times, open up to anyone so easily. It's not selfish, it's necessary. Because the sad truth is, people only know your worth, when you yourself know it first.
