The Burden of a Good ❤️
<p><br/></p><p>In a world that often rewards loudness over kindness,</p><p>and cunning over conscience,</p><p>being good truly good feels like a quiet rebellion.</p><p>I know this because I live it.</p><p>Having a good heart isn’t just about being nice </p><p>it’s choosing peace even when your soul is tired.</p><p>It’s helping others even when your hands are full.</p><p>It’s forgiving when it’s easier to walk away.</p><p>And yet…</p><p>People mistake quietness for weakness.</p><p>They see compassion as an invitation to manipulate.</p><p>They assume kindness means you don’t know better </p><p>when in fact, you know too much, and still choose to be soft.</p><p>I've watched people take advantage of me </p><p>not because I’m foolish,</p><p>but because they thought I wouldn't notice.</p><p>They confuse silence for stupidity.</p><p>They push boundaries and call it “just joking.”</p><p>They drain your energy and name it “friendship.”</p><p>But a good heart isn’t clueless it’s just patient.</p><p>It hurts, deeply.</p><p>It sees red flags, but chooses hope.</p><p>It gets tired, but still gives.</p><p>And sometimes, being good in this world</p><p>feels like bleeding silently in a crowd that only claps for wolves.</p><p>But let me tell you this:</p><p>Being kind is not a flaw.</p><p>It is not something to unlearn.</p><p>It is not something you “fix” to survive this world.</p><p>A good heart is a rare, raw kind of strength.</p><p>The type that sees chaos and still chooses calm.</p><p>The type that is mocked but never shaken.</p><p>So if you're like me soft, quiet, giving </p><p>please know that your light unsettles the dark.</p><p>You are not naive. You are not weak.</p><p>You are a threat to a system that thrives on coldness.</p><p>So don’t dim your heart.</p><p>Guard it fiercely.</p><p>But never, never be ashamed of it even if it's the wrong generation to have the wrong heart.</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
