beat 126 - empathetic

"Sometimes I hate that I'm so soft-hearted. It can make me feel foolish and weak when I cry at stupid TV shows or become depressed for a week over an upsetting news story. But what I really worry about is being too hard-hearted, about what it means for my soul when the tragedies around me don't affect me. When this happens to me, I know my heart is in trouble."
