You’ve heard it so many times that at some point, you started to believe it: You Are Too Sensitive.
Maybe it was your mother. A boss. An ex. A friend who “meant well”. Or just the world in general, making it quietly but consistently clear that the way you feel doesn’t quite fit the pace expected of you.
I personally know that feeling, of being ‘too much’, and it sucks.
I’m someone who cries over a dandelion if she senses it was picked especially for her. Who goes deep in conversations, in thoughts, in grief, in joy. Who lies awake at night because of an idea that won’t let go. Who walks into a funeral and mourns not just the person who passed, but life itself. The impermanence. The enormity of everything.
For years, I tried to make myself smaller. Quieter. Easier. Less.
But what if you are not too sensitive? What if you are here on this earth simply… too early?!
Because what I sense is that we are living at a turning point.
AI is taking over. AI is taking over the fast thinking: the analysis, the structures, the logic. What remains, what can NOT be replaced, is exactly what you’ve always had. And what you and people around you never quite dared to take seriously.
Your ability to feel what’s really going on. To see what lives behind the words. To walk into a room and feel immediately: something here isn’t right. When you enter a room you FEEL the atmosphere.
What others may have though was your weakness, is actually strength. A precise and deeply human instrument that no machine can build.
Your gut feeling.
And this, my dear friend, this is where journaling comes in. Hallelujah! Not as a creative hobby. Not as a self-help trick where you list three things you’re grateful for (though obviously that has its place too). But journaling as a serious, deep practice of getting to know yourself. Finding your own voice on paper. Understanding what you feel before the world tells you what you’re supposed to feel.
“You were not born too sensitive for this world. You were born for the world that’s emerging right now.”
Writing and drawing on paper is the only place where nothing talks back. No algorithm. No judgment. No expectation.
I’ve been journaling my whole life. Not because I’m particularly spiritual or organized. But because I have a rambling mind that never stops. (Which sometimes is quite exhausting, lol!) Paper is the only place where all those thoughts are allowed to land without immediately having to do something with them.
And what I’ve discovered over all those years: the people who know themselves most deeply, who are clearest about what they feel and what they want, are the ones who have the most real influence on the world around them. And
You were not born too sensitive for this world.
You were born for the world that’s emerging right now. This is the age for the FEELERS!
And it all starts… with a blank journal page.
