If my pillows could speak, they would speak of my deepest sorrows and my incredible vulnerability.
Walking the path through life as a highly sensitive person certainly triggers more tears than one could imagine. I didn’t choose to be this way. This world is certainly not kind to people who naturally wear their hearts on their sleeves. Or those who are walking through the world with heightened senses.
“Just stop being so sensitive”, said so many people. If only I had a dollar every time someone said these things to me… I thought about it too. This isn’t how it works, unfortunately.
My pillows may be stained by my tears, but the latter have always been very healing. My emotional sponge needs to be squeezed at night to fully let go and be able to face the next day.
