I would say...you do not need to defend your sweet self. Your sensitivity is my joy (how selfish of me - but true!) for it makes me feel less alone. xo

You understand how this feels, I know. Thank you so much for sharing my sensitivity!💞✨

Trudi, this has such deep meaning. When we’re sensitive, we are able to tune into ourselves as well as others, in a way so many have yet to be aware of with their own self. Our strength to feel pain, be empathetic towards others, and at the same time, tune into our own vulnerabilities, is a blessed gift. Strength helps us move on from a bad situation, but also hold on long enough to hear both sides. Strength gives us faith to believe in our inner self, and know we’re home there, and yes, forgiveness takes strength, and if we’re sensitive, then we are aware. There is no such thing as being too sensitive! Another poem that speaks to my soul. Thank you❤️

Jo-Ann, everything you say rings true for me. It can be easy to see sensitivity as a weakness but it is such a gift, when we learn how to protect ourselves. Thank you for your wise words! ✨❤️
