For me, I have always been very sensitive.  I have felt things very strongly, whether it was positive or negative. This included my surroundings and other people. 

Hyper Aware. 

Certain places and buildings would make me feel a certain way. Very old buildings generally didn’t make me feel good. Regarding other people, frankly, I never knew where I ended and others began. The strength of this is that I make an excellent mediator, interventionist and teacher.

Because of being so sensitive, I have enjoyed solitude, communing with nature and recharging after a long day at work. At times, I’ve closed off my heart and appeared uncaring. It was a survival tool. Don’t get me wrong, I need people. But my idea of fun is sitting and having coffee with one person and I rarely put more than one thing on my calendar at a time.

I’ve made peace with this and really enjoy my life.

But if there was one skill I wish I had, it would be a release from all anxiety and fear. I would say yes to life, hop on that plane and take a trip around the world.

Actually, maybe just for a week. 🤗💜
