Hey Lily.... sometimes it takes awhile to unlearn what The Matrix has programmed for us so that you can learn who you are. The whole point of showing up is because you have a gift and someone is searching for it. Instead of not caring about thousands, I'm finding it easier to care a lot about the one or two that makes a point to look into my eyes and say "I can't get you out of my head" Good! If I made you think and I'm "always gentle on your mind", that's why I bother to show up.
Sometimes it feels like I need to flatten myself because the world doesn't have space for me. And won't make space for me. And that's leaves me with this hollowed out, despairing ache in my gut and feeling completely alien, almost like a jamais-vu. I do not know how to exist in this world. And I don't want to. The world is fucked up.
I feel you. I relate. For what it’s worth, I’m glad you’re here. There’s plenty of creative space on this online platform for your voice. I’m sure many outliers would deeply relate to your experiences. They need your gifts so that they feel less alone in this fucked up world.
Another deeply impactful post! Isn't it amazing that as sensitive people it's actually making room for our sensitivity that sets us free from the (self-imposed) prison of conformity?
There's such a beautiful tension of self-responsibility and external accountability from the people we interact with. It's our way of owning our flaws and filtering out people who will only harm the sensitivity-calibration journey.
Thank you for always sharing so deeply and profoundly xxx
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment and for going on this journey with me. I deeply appreciate your reflections.
So true, accepting and integrating sensitivity into our way of being in the world does set us free from the prison of conformity. Love how you’ve described the tension. We need that filter for sure as we navigate this broken and beautiful world. Many thanks for inspiring me🙏❤️🙏

Wholly unmet. Yes that says it all. Great story that means something to me and is not just another story.
Thank you very much for letting me know this. Greatly appreciate your comment🙏

The funny part is it's only other people that ever make me feel alone. Their absence does not.
"It’s felt overwhelmingly vulnerable simply to be alive on the planet"
Yes, exactly that

Beautiful subbie!
The one word that flew at me was “gentle”, it’s the perfect word to describe how you glide through the world.
You continue to gently share your journey with wisdom and reflective insights, thank you.

Medicine Man always makes me laugh so I had to share that story, albeit briefly.
Thank you so much for this wonderful reflection on gentleness. Greatly appreciate you❤️🙏❤️
