You can fully support yourself when you accept yourself
” You are really sensitive Heidi”
It was as if I had heard those words for the first time in 33 years.
Hearing those words uttered by my friend- landed so differently for me this time. There was a full opening of my heart and surrendering to each word.
I became filled with so much gratitude, I couldn’t thank her enough for saying those exact words at the exact time she did!
I had been doing life denying this part of me.
Growing up my mom & sister would tell me how sensitive I was and that I was too much. So naturally I had formed this idea & thought that there was something wrong with me. I did everything I could to deny the feelings!
It was repeated by so many people throughout my life and every time I would hear those words ” you are really sensitive” -friction would arise in me.
I didn’t know what being too sensitive meant?!?
Finally after 33 years of denying it, I finally heard the words in full acceptance for the very first time.
I stopped my friend in that moment telling her, ” Kristen, Thank you so much for saying that to me!”
She was confused and wasn’t sure if I was hurt by the comment so she buffered letting me know “it’s not a bad thing , you just happen ….”
-“no I am truly grateful because for the first time I hear those words and I feel fully in love with it “
tears bursted down my eyes.
I had been trying to do life for so long pretending I wasn’t sensitive. I had no idea how heavy the weight & how big the burden of pretending was.
Pretending I wasn’t sensitive always had me wondering, what is wrong with me?
I would pretend to not care when my heart was breaking. I would try to be strong suppressing it all.
It wasn’t okay to feel as deeply as I did and so I pained in silence.
I pained alone in the dark holding myself my entire life.
My pain was shamed, denied and it was told that it was unacceptable.
No one heard my pain & I was told that my pain didn’t matter. So naturally I myself grew up shaming it, denying it & not accepting it.
I would get in relationships with guys who would tell me there was something wrong with me with all my feelings boiling under my skin.
I projected loudly.
The projection was my pain wanting to be seen but me not knowing how to allow it to be.
……I am a sensitive person & accepting this now feels like I can do life with full permission.
I am sensitive to energy, feelings, light, colors, words, music & now I don’t have to conform to appease others.
I get to fully own it and nurture myself in ways I need, to fully supporting myself.
With so many years of working on myself, trying to be a better person and then having my awakening, God was able to reveal to me the path of what this super power was & how to use it in service to others.
I can be sensitive now without it being a negative experience.
I get to be open about it, transparent.
Vulnerability feels a bit easier now.
I can now support myself in cultivating healthier relationship by communicating my needs of when I need space or when I need support.
I can fully be me without needing to hide the parts that I thought wasn’t okay trying to make them un true.
Yes, it’s true I am sensitive & I can feel everything very deeply.
