I observe and I care, but it’s emotionally draining.
Being a creative person or an empath is like having a backstage pass to a rollercoaster of feelings. You listen to a song, read a line, or watch a scene, and suddenly, you’re not just a spectator; you’re living the highs and lows of the characters or the artist’s lives.
Every word, every note—it’s like a direct line to my emotions. It’s not just hearing a song; it’s feeling the songwriter’s heartbreak, the joy, and the struggles. It’s a wild ride because, hey, emotions aren’t just black and white; they’re a whole spectrum.
But here’s the thing: It’s not a switch I can turn off. Being in a creative field means I’m wired to soak up emotions and dive deep into the beauty and messiness of life. It’s a gift and a challenge because, honestly, everything becomes a big deal. A movie scene, a novel, or a piece of music—they all hit differently, and it’s both a blessing and a bit overwhelming.
Sure, it’s emotionally draining. There are days I find myself laughing uncontrollably or tearing up over something seemingly small. But it’s also the only way I know how to express the beauty of these emotions. It’s like I’ve signed up for this cosmic subscription where I get the full experience, and in return, I get to translate it into my work.
So, yeah, it’s intense, and there’s no neutral gear. But through this emotional rollercoaster, I discover the nuances of human experience, and that’s what makes being in the creative lane worth every overwhelming moment. It’s a journey into the heart of emotions, translating them into stories, art, and music—my way of saying, “Hey, this is what it feels like to be human.” 🎨🎶
Until next time, Adios amigo!
