Not everyone will understand your sensitivity.
Nor should you expect them to.
You are responsible for knowing yourself, for protecting yourself, and for adapting to your surroundings and your relationships in such a way that your integrity remains intact.
The world is not going to adjust to your needs.
You must take care of your caring heart.
In order to honor your sensitive soul, there will be times when you will have to go your own way, forge your own path, and do your own thing.
Other times, you will have to stand your ground, resisting the forces that attempt to push and pull you in directions that do not serve you.
Be sensitive to your sensitivity.
Listen to it and let it guide you, not away from life, but toward your life, your path, and your unique contribution to this world.
Allow your sensitivity to teach you to be your own person, your own advocate, and your own refuge.
Used in this way, your sensitivity becomes your strength.
