About Loving, Caring, and Kind People

I’ve valued different kind of personalities over the years but recently I’ve come to appreciate loving, kind and caring people. I believe these people represent something deeper and more important in our society then we believe and should be protected and highlighted at any price.

I’m lucky enough to have met people that display these valuable characteristics. They are likely to be the most wonderful people I have in my life but most of them seem to struggle with the same things.

• They believe that achievement and performance in the traditional sense are mutually exclusive from love, care and kindness. For instance, they believe that in the professional world, to be successful, love, care and kindness don’t matter or might even be a disadvantage.

• They are sensitive and emotional which makes them more vulnerable and easy to take advantage of.

Looking at myself I know that I’m probably more on the sensitive & emotional side of things but if I’m really honest to myself I have never really been able to shine a lot of care, love and kindness into this world. I’ve been more on the side of pursuing goals and achievement and to me these things did not align with care love and kindness.

I’ve changed my mind over the past two years and now deeply believe that displaying real love, real kindness and real care is a superpower and the most important superpower. It seems like a weakness not because people don’t value it but because it makes you vulnerable and sticking to being vulnerable while performing is really hard.

I’ve felt the need to write this since my last conversation with a girl I really appreciate. To all the loving, caring, kind, sensitive, and/or emotional people in my life: please stick to displaying who you are, all the time. It is hard, harder then being someone else or being a dick and that’s exactly the reason I need you to stick to it.
