Empaths or Narcissists?

There’s a strata of people who replace straightening out their lives with over analyzing it.

They pay for therapy and wonder why they never have enough money at the end of the month.

They planned on working through their 20s and 30s and then somebody was supposed to take care of them. Likely a boyfriend or girlfriend. But instead you have people in their 30s and 40s calling themselves empaths because it’s te new word for narcissists with behavioral issues.

Those people who say ‘I just can’t help myself.’

I don’t think anybody can help you, sweetie.

You can either analyze or you can optimize.

You can lament or you can rejoice.

You can live in the past or you can live in the moment.

You can live with a label or you can block it out from your mind because some day you’re going to die and what are you going to put on your headstone?

“I figured it out on my deathbed. Nothing mattered. Only love.”

And yet you spent so many days miserable.

And all of those days you spent miserable YOU WERE ALIVE.

Start making GOOD MEMORIES.

Do the cleanse you’ve been putting off.

Go get that gym membership or take that walk in the park.

Reserve your feelings and opinions for after you’ve accomplished, rather than mull whether or not you want to make yet another day of your life a failure.
