I used to dislike being sensitive. I thought it made me weak. But take away that single trait, and you take away the very essence of who I am. You take away my conscience, my ability to empathize, my intuition, my creativity, my deep appreciation for the little things, my vivid inner life, my keen awareness of other’s pain and my passion for it all.

I am going to keep that quote. That is me. That is my life story in a few words. I never want to lose my essence either. I actually said more in this post, but after reading it, I thought it might be to personal so I edited myself. This quote made me stop and think.

Agreed! I’m thankful to have found a community of people online who understand being highly sensitive, the “keen awareness of other’s pain and my passion for it all.”

I’m such the office monkey these days, feeling cut off from all of these super powers. Would love to take a week off from collègues, clients, commutes, spouse, kids… and to find a spot with a balcony, a view, an armchair, a bottle of wine, a stack of books, a journal, and another journal since the first one will fill up too quickly… I need a long deep-dive into my imagination and inner world…

That sounds pretty amazing. I hope you get the chance to relax, unwind, and get some much needed alone time!
