"Compassion hurts. When you feel connected to everything, you also feel responsible for everything. And you cannot turn away. Your destiny is bound with the destinies of others. You must either learn to carry the Universe or be crushed by it. You must grow strong enough to love the world, yet empty enough to sit down at the same table with its worst horrors."

-Andrew Boyd (via hollow-gram)

This is why compassion needs to go hand in hand with self care. There are days when I can bear to read sad stories and be in touch with the harsh realities of the world. But I have to couple them with moments when I’m just sitting, drinking some tea, cracking jokes, and listening to happy music.
