What’s the trait you value most about yourself?

Empathy.

Although it sometimes feels like a blessing and a curse, I have grown to love this part of me so much. I’ve been on medications when all of my emotions and sensitivities were taken away from me, and I absolutely hated it; I felt like a completely different person. Now that I’m more regulated and actively in therapy, I have learned better ways to use and embrace this gift.
