Don't Be Silly Thinking Your Gift of Sensitivity is a Curse

1. Your Sensitivity Makes You Powerful

I was born highly sensitive. I felt like something was wrong with me. Everything was too much. Happiness was too much and so sadness was too much.

Relationships were especially painful.

I felt everything so deeply. When I loved, I loved hard. When I was angry, I roared and devoured. When a relationship ended, the other person would move on the next month and I’d spend years struggling to move on.

The world was too harsh. I never knew how long what someone said or did would stick with me and how it’d hurt me. And so I run and hid a lot. I kept to myself. It was safer that way for my young soul.

No one could hurt me with their sharp tongues if I kept to myself so I built a wall to shield myself. I did what I had to do.

I grew up though.

I no longer run and hide when the energies are shooting. I no longer feel like there’s something wrong with me for feeling deeper than the sea and you should never, ever feel like that.

Society may have made you feel too fragile, making you think your sensitivity is a problem, but that’s far from the truth. Sensitive and fragile aren’t synonyms.

You are gifted, and that's the truth.

Your sensitivity isn’t a problem. Insensitivity and desensitization in the world is the problem.

In a world where everybody is afraid to feel; where people pretend, they don’t feel things just so they don’t feel pain, your sensitivity is a God-given gift. Feeling as if you’re cursed for feeling is a distraction from your purpose.

If you lost your sensitivity; your essence, uniqueness, personality, and ability to heal would be all lost.

Don’t feed into your distractions. Start accepting yourself just the way you’re gifted. Be grateful for who God created you to be and don’t let anyone make you feel bad for feeling.

2. Your Sensitivity Makes You Strong

Your sensitivity isn’t a weakness. I was so silly to think that way when I was younger.

I thought if I wasn’t weak, I would have gotten up and moved on when the other person had already moved on. If I wasn't weak, I wouldn't have to feel and deal with so much. The things people said wouldn’t hurt me so badly. I wouldn’t carry other people’s yucky vibes long after they were gone. I wouldn't be tired and drained all the time. I wouldn’t have to run and hide when the energies were shooting at me.

I wouldn’t, but I did. Thank God for growth and maturity.

If you feel things deeply, there’s nothing weak inside you. You have the power to feel what someone is going through. That’s strength. You can sympathize and empathize with anyone. That’s super strength. You love to help and care for others. That’s your greatest strength.

My sensitivity was never my weakness. God loved me enough that he gave me a gift. In my sensitivity, He flows in my veins. He shows up in every word I say. It was always my superpower, and yours is too.

Your sensitivity is not a curse.

Your energy in motion runs as wide as the ocean. Your heart is as big as the sky. You are connected to everything and everyone, and your love is sufficient for the entire universe.

Your sensitivity is your greatest blessing, so stop running and hiding from yourself. Develop thick skin so the world doesn't shake you.

3. Your Sensitivity Makes You a Vessel

Your ability to sense and feel things isn’t a mistake. You were designed that way. You don’t need to change a thing about that.

It is through your sensitivity that spirit flows. Without it, the world is doomed.

You don’t need to grow hard. You don’t need to pretend you don’t care. You don’t need to be afraid to show your emotions. You don’t need to be afraid to feel.

The world is hard. You don't need to be hard on yourself on top of that.

Change the way you see your sensitivity and you'll see things much differently like I did. Cultivate a better relationship with yourself. Love yourself. Nurture and care for yourself.

Start seeing yourself as gifted in the most humble way.

As someone with a gift, there will be those who will come to steal, kill, and destroy. Guard your gift with your breath.

You are a vessel.

No more running and hiding. Learn ways to protect yourself and your energy. No more self-loathing. Stay away from those who make you feel cursed or weak. No more feeling low on energy. Learn ways to recharge and replenish your energy when it’s low and bounce right back up. And watch out for the energy vampires. They only come to drain, kill, and destroy.

Mature in your sensitivity and own your gift. Without it, Spirit can't work through you because you wouldn't feel a thing. You feel Spirit all around you because you're sensitive to them.

God and all of humanity need you to be exactly who you came here to be.
