Etheric Echos

I watch you pour yourself out for others until there’s nothing left but hollow echoes and tired smiles. You tend to everyone’s gardens while your own flowers wilt, heal every broken wing while your own soul bleeds. And it breaks my heart, knowing that behind those eyes that see magic in everyone else, you’ve forgotten how to see it in your mirror.

Who will watch over you when I’m gone? Who will remind you to breathe when the world gets too heavy? Who will notice when your smile doesn’t reach your eyes, when you’re giving away pieces of yourself that you can’t afford to lose?

You love so fiercely, so completely – as if your heart knows no boundaries. But darling, you treat yourself like a temporary shelter for others instead of the sacred temple you are. You’ve made homes in other people’s souls while leaving your own rooms dark and empty.

I wish you could see yourself through my eyes, just for a moment. Maybe then you’d understand why it terrifies me to think of leaving you alone with your own harsh judgment, your endless self-sacrifice. Because you deserve the same grace you give others, the same forgiveness, the same gentle love.

Please learn to save yourself. Learn to love yourself with the same intensity you love others. Because one day, when I’m no longer here to remind you of your worth, I need to know that you’ll remember. That you’ll look in the mirror and see what I’ve always seen – not just someone who saves others, but someone worth saving.
