I like learning about people and immersing myself into their world to really understand them. To see them.

That used to be my downfall when I was younger because I didn't quite master empathy without boundaries, or compartmentalisation. Just giving in excess. Making people feel seen to the extent I became them and took on their world.

Now, I can appreciate that I care enough to step into someone's world and I know that's just a natural part of who I am but I won't sit there forever, just enough to walk the path and give it back to them. Nothing had to entirely change, just adjusted.
