My Life as a Highly Sensitive Soul
...as told in quotes, because sometimes
they explain things better than I can.
Besides it is like they can read my mind.
“Highly sensitive people are too often
perceived as weaklings or damaged goods.
To feel intensely is not a symptom of weakness,
it is the trademark of the truly alive and compassionate.
It is not the empath who is broken, it is society that
has become dysfunctional and emotionally disabled.
There is no shame in expressing your authentic feelings.
Those who are at times described as being a ‘hot mess’
or having ‘too many issues’ are the very fabric of what
keeps the dream alive for a more caring, humane world.
Never be ashamed to let your tears shine a light in this world.”

I am on the road to self-acceptance.
Even though I long for a break from
what I feel and just want to be numb
for a short while I will never
apologize for who I am.

I will soon be at peace with myself.
I am a work in progress.
And well, yes,I am kind of a hot mess,
a trainwreck at times

And of course, my depression
and anxiety are always present,
lurking in the depths of my mind.
It is an illness I live with everyday.
It has made me who I am today.

I AM ME.
I am the woman who cares way too
much about people who may
not give a damn about me.
I choose love every time.
My life is always chaotic, and I struggle with daily life,
especially with my constant need
to feel every damn thing, yet
I am learning to accept my heightened sensitivity.
Some days it is a gift, other days not so much.

I know that self-acceptance is vital not only
to my well-being but to my future mental health.
Self-acceptance starts will self-love.
I am learning to love myself, flaws and all,
then everything else will fall into place.
No apologizes, I am who I am.
And No, permission is not needed from others to be myself.
