Hearts are meant to love deeply.

I see the good. The good in people, the good in situations, the good in life. I'm not perfect at this "seeing good" thing all the time but I'm noticing this about myself and have also been told by people that I do so. I keep noticing that I'll tell someone how great someone else is and thT person always seems to respond with " yeah but.." and it just hurts me and sucks all at the same time because I dont think like that. I also dont want to think about the bad. I observe things and notice faults just like everyone else but it's not how I want to know a person. I thank my background/childhood for this.. Between moving around and not always fitting in and havingto start over a lot.. And other reasons I'm sure.
I also know that everywhere I go I hear peoples stories, where they're going, what they've done or are doing, their pains, joys, aspirations. I have this gift of listening ; but as someone brought it to light to me today they said that I have a very trusting presense about me that is non judging and desires to know. Which I think, for the most part, is very true. I deeply love, deeply hurt... The list goes on. This person reminded me today that I can leave these burdens with God because I carry a lot of peoples burdens. Which I do feel like we are called to do its just a matter of doing so in a healthy manner.
These past weeks have really been weeks of self reflection and spring cleaning.. Cleaning of my heAert and soul.
