i fell to fast, i feel too much.
recently, i was having a conversation with a newfound friend
i was slightly taken aback when he said to me:
i can tell by talking to you that you are a sensitive person
and probably, in your past, people have said you are perhaps too sensitive
i AM NOT too sensitive...i was thinking
but then he added (ish):
society has shaped us to believe that this is a bad thing...its not
being in touch with your inner self,
making a point of showing people how you feel about them
and wanting the same in return
is one of the things that makes you you
embrace it and never apologize
well, my friends,
i truly believe, people are brought into our lives
if even for brief moments, to help us through this....at times, challenging existence
THAT conversation was exactly what i needed at the time
i had been mentally scolding myself for being too sensitive
for caring too much
and for actually...feeling
what a relief, to get such a perspective from my new friend
and if that was not validation enough, a few days later i came across a letter Mom wrote me a lifetime ago in a year called 1992
goodness, i love that gg!
and, i am proud to say:
hello, my name is MACY
and i am SENSITIVE...
