The ones who stay...

Sympathy watches from the edge..present, but distant. Empathy steps in without a word… not to fix, but to feel with you. Apathy walks past...unmoved and lost in its own noise.

Most people aren’t heartless. Just too distracted to notice your storm, while battling their own.True affection doesn’t shout, solve, or impress. It makes time. It sits quietly beside your ache and says, “I’m here. Let’s talk.”

Stop trying to attract sympathy or impress apathy...it’ll only drain you. You never need to chase the ones who truly empathize. They’ll make time. They’ll bring presence. They’ll show up with heart. So before you give more, ask yourself..."where’s my energy going?"
