powerful AND sensitive

 Being called sensitive was always a bad thing

Something that was wrong with me, that I needed to change, and meant I was weak

It made others around me uncomfortable
Some made fun of me, yelled at me, and some even used it against me in their gaslighting

So, I spent 30+ years suppressing in shame, fear and self protection
I thought maybe they wouldn't abandon me if I was robotic to what they thought I should be
I hid myself, rejected everything about me, numbed and punished myself so that it didn't hurt as much when others would

Let me tell you, that was EXHAUSTING and it didn't work!

Now I fucking own it and who I choose to be

Being sensitive and being able to feel so deeply is my superpower and how I change lives every damn day

Yes I might cry almost every time I do a live healing in front of a group of people, but seeing me feel gives others permission to feel when they spent years suppressing their feelings.
*It also shows my deep love and passion in what I know and do (alot of people sadly can't say that)

I choose to know that I get to be powerful AND sensitive
Because I honor my sensitivity & awareness to the smallest things, I am even MORE powerful!

I choose who I be and who I am, regardless of others expectations and whether they like it or not

Since I have honored this within, I am free mentally and emotionally, instead of having to look and be a certain way in fear of rejection and disapproval

Because I know even if others reject me and disapprove of me or something Im doing, I am okay because I have me

I am my own best friend
