Too much / not enough
Melanie • 22 Sept 2026 •
It’s too much to handle
Too much pain
Too much sadness
Too much loneliness
Not enough support
Not enough emotional connection
Not enough acceptance
Not enough breaks
Not enough understanding
Not enough hope
Not enough love
So what, now?
One is the heart longing for more.
One is the mind saying it’s too much.
Who do you listen to?
The mind always finds things that are not ideal, things to criticize. The mind fears change and uncertainty, so it keeps you restless.
The heart, however, is at peace when it gets its dose of connection and love.
Listen to the heart’s longings.
If you loved yourself: What would you tell yourself? Do? Not do?
I see you. It’s hard. You’re strong.
It’s all going to pass.
You’re so loved.
Nice writing there.
