I feel more 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇 and simultaneously more child-like than ever before.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

It has been the greatest challenge & also the greatest blessing in my life to be so sensitive.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

And I am really only coming to recognize my incredible sensitivity this past year,⁠⁠

⁠⁠

With so many patterns having dropped away.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

This recognition has inspired so much self-compassion,⁠⁠

⁠⁠

So much forgiveness of all the coarse patterns that developed in me to help me cope in this world.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

And wow, how difficult and almost impossible it must have been for my parents & the world around me to know how to support such sensitivity in me...⁠⁠

⁠⁠

I have really come to value connection with other highly sensitive & gentle beings because of this.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

Just interacting briefly with a horse this past summer brought me to tears because I was so moved by her sensitivity.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

I felt "met" in such a precious way, by being in her presence.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

I feel that the greatest gift we can offer ourselves as highly sensitive beings in this world, is to learn how to care for & nurture our sensitivity.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

In a world that has absolutely no idea how to support us with that...⁠⁠

⁠⁠

Nothing has been more nurturing to me than learning to honour myself in this way.⁠⁠

⁠⁠

And while we may not be able to function "normally" in society by doing this,⁠⁠

⁠⁠

We get to access the subtle, hidden realms that many never see ✨ 😉⁠⁠
