It took me a while to realise, but I have come to trust that there is great strength in being gentle, sensitive, and even 'too emotional'... Goodness knows it would be easier to pretend I’m normal.
Ali, I’ve just discovered you and listening to this post was absolutely wonderful!! Thank you for your beautiful words and reminding me that being assertive about my limits, needs and choices is indeed strong and very much needed in this world ✨👍💞
Glad you found your way here Eva. I need constant reminders that there is strength in softness as we get such a different message from society. My posts are as much notes to myself as anything. So I’m thrilled when people read or listen and find something of themselves too. Thank you ☺️
Phew. This hit so close to home, in a quiveringly haunting way. I identify with virtually every word spoken, which, by the way, was so touchingly written. Tears could not be supressed. Thank you for giving such a poetic voice to my experience as both a mother and highly sensitive and emotional person who was consistently given the message not to feel so much. 🌞
Thanks so much for sharing your heartfelt response Jessica. It can be very lonely growing up thinking you are feeling too much. You've encouraged me to keep writing from the heart! 🧡
