Every change is felt, no matter how small or how quickly it comes and goes, it is always noticed.
Noticed in the way it brushes against your skin or the way you smell it with your nose.
It is not just living it is LIVING.
Feeling your feet on the ground, your back against a chair, hearing people talk loudly around you, feeling the warm air in your neck.
These are details that make up the world that surrounds us. Yet none of them remain the same for a long time. Everything around us is constantly moving and changing. Nothing stays the same. This change is felt strongly. Sometimes it is a different smell in your home, other times it is sleeping in a new bed.
This sensitive way of living can be seen as a burden. However, it can also be viewed also as a gift. In my opinion it can be quite a challenge to see it as a gift or as something positive. If I could, I would just live my life without feeling so much.
But then on the other hand, what is life without being sensitive and emotional? Being sensitive is part of who I am. I would not be me, without being sensitive.
Living like this, in a way, has to be learned. What are my limits? From when on is an experience too much. One has to get to know yourself. Only like this living sensitive can become a positive or even beautiful experience.
