Being Sensitive is a blessing not a curse!

 

I spent majority of my life being told that I was too much. That I was too emotional and too sensitive. I was told a lot that I needed to get a grip, and I felt like I was judged a lot for feeling things so deeply whether that was in a positive or negative way. After nearly 20 years I’m here to tell you that it’s okay! It’s okay to feel things deeply and now that I have finally accepted myself as being a sensitive girly I am here to help you to do the same.

First, you need to understand that being emotionally sensitive means you  simple have  a big heart and soul and that is NOT I repeat NOT something to ever feel ashamed or embarrassed of. For the longest time I was ashamed of who I was, being that I am a highly sensitive person and I could never quite understand why I felt things on such a deep level in comparison to some of my friends and family. It confused and frustrated me.  I hated how sensitive I was  because why  did it feel like I was  the only one getting so upset over the simplest things or so excited over the smallest things?  

It wasn’t until one night I was doom scrolling on TikTok when I had it and I came across this post that completely changed my entire perspective on what it meant to be a sensitive person. In the TikTok it said that being in touch with your emotions is a gift and wow I had never thought of it that way before. I was always told and made to feel like being in touch with my emotions was this curse and was not a good thing but reading this made me realise how actually amazing it is. It made me realise that in actuality I would much rather feel things so deeply than feel nothing at all. After all how miserable and dull would life be if we did not feel things?

I think that some of us are just meant to experience life deeply.  We don’t just look at sunsets, we feel them. We get emotional about ‘minor things’ and we cry when others cry. We have this craving for deep emotional relationships that feed our hearts and souls but above it all our sensitivity helps us to live life to the fullest.

Never Ever apologise for how deeply you feel or passionate you love. You are not and never will be too much because when your heart is gold, and your intentions are pure you won’t lose anyone, if anything people will lose you.  I promise you though you will never be too much for the right people and you will never feel judged or ashamed to be yourself when you are surrounded by the right ones. Maybe you just haven’t found them yet and that is okay, but when you start to realize how much of a blessing it is to be a sensitive person your whole perspective on life will change and I can promise you that you will start to attract the right people into your life and you will experience so many more blessings.

 So I say to you my reader , stay sensitive and passionate and emotionally connected because I think the world needs more people like you in it.

Love always
