You are not "too deep"
But they would drown in you
You are not too deep.
Most people are just used to shallow water.
It’s not that you are too much.
It’s that they would drown if they came closer.
Their words don’t define you.
They simply show what they are still avoiding.
You’ve learned how to swim
while some people struggle to keep their heads above water.
This is why you feel lonely and why you feel tired.
You carry so much… but who is holding you?
Your tears are nothing to be ashamed of.
They are prove of your courage.
Your journey has been intense,
and it has grown a hidden strength within you.
They might not see it or understand it,
but they feel your energy more than you know.
You embody something this world desperately needs.
The ability to sit with yourself and heal.
While others are running, searching for distractions,
you are the one facing what’s truly important.
It’s time to stop doubting yourself.
You can now transform pain into freedom.
Your heart is expending,
and so will your circle of like-minded people.
You’ve become a light
for anyone taking their first dive.
You don’t have to force them or call them.
Eventually some will follow,
once you start enjoying your own depth,
swimming gracefully,
enjoying life.
You are the bravest person I know.
I share my truth, because realness creates connection. Vulnerability opens a space where others can feel seen, and safe, ready to embrace who they truly are. If it resonates, share it and leave a message.
