What is a life without feeling too much, caring too much, hoping too much?
Is that even a life at all?

We do not love enough.
Wendy Wei
We are all guilty of not loving enough, not giving enough, not sharing enough.
There is so much time in the world to care, to love, to share.
We lock away our hearts.
What are we so afraid of?
Are we worried that if we love too fiercely, we will be rejected?
Have we convinced ourselves that opening our souls isnt in style anymore?
Are we worried there may be no love left?
Instead of taking the risk, taking the leap, we default to ignoring messages.
We refuse to call back.
We cowardly ghost others.
But you, you dont have to be like this.
Be the one who loves too much and cares so deeply, its overwhelming.
What is a life without feeling too much, caring too much, hoping too much?
Is that even a life at all?
When the world is bleak and falling apart at its core, dont you fall as well.
Its endless pit of harshness is no place for you.
Its simple to collapse into the cold blanket of the world, to smother yourself in its darkness.
Be that symbol of love for others.
Even if you havent heard from them in a while.
Even if they dont respond to your texts or your calls or your emails or your letters.
Boldly scream love into the world.
Call too many times.
Dont let others forget they are cared for, loved for, needed.
If they turn your love away, let them.
You did your part.
You shared your love.
Thats all you’ve got the option to ever do.
All we have is one another.
No amount of money or fame or material items can replace the connections between us.
Do not withhold your love out of fear and regret and anger for not receiving it in return.
Even if no one tells you they love you back, you did your job in loving deeply.
The love you share will change the world.
That little spark of hope is the reason we exist to love one another.
So tell people that you love them.
