They say you’re quiet. It’s true, you listen to the world carefully. You catch the gentle sounds and the stories others miss. Take all the time you need, and when you’re ready, your voice will speak words that truly matter.
They say you’re too slow, but do you know that some of the most wonderful things take time? Flowers bloom slowly, the tide rises without hurry, and winter gently wraps us in its beauty. Move at your own pace, it’s perfect for you.
They say you’re impulsive. You’re a spark, a light that radiates energy around you. Yes, sometimes you burn brightly. Learn to name your emotions, to feel and understand them. You’re a flame, and that flame can light up many paths.
They say you talk too much. Your thoughts are a whirlwind, a river full of ideas. It’s important to speak about what you feel, even when it’s hard. Your voice matters, especially when it expresses what’s heavy on your heart.
They say you’re too withdrawn. But your mind is a galaxy, full of stars and worlds waiting to be explored. Your imagination is a treasure. Share some of that magic whenever you’re ready, because what you carry within you is precious.
They say you’re lazy, but take your time to breathe. Trying is already a brave act. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes, because falling is how we learn to rise. You are stronger than you think, and every step, even the smallest one, takes you further.
They say you’re too emotional, but that’s a strength you have. You’re an ocean of feelings: waves of joy, tides of sadness, storms of anger. Embracing your emotions means being deeply human. You feel everything so fully, and it’s beautiful to know your heart beats so fiercely.
