I just spent 10 mins writing a long comment because I really resonated with this post… and then I accidentally pressed back and lost the whole damn thing and now I am annoyed! I will write it out properly again later. Thank you for sharing. From another highly sensitive person navigating this very stimulating world through the very stimulating season of motherhood ❤️

This beautiful to read and so resonant with parts of myself. I can never get over how validating it is to read my heart and body’s experience in someone else’s words.

It is such a strange and beautiful experience every time I find words that match my insides.

I have always been highly sensitive as well and am slowly learning about the gifts of it as well instead of wishing it wasn’t part of me. It makes us so much more interesting I think.

Wow, thank you both for sharing your tender and raw experiences. It feels like a privilege to be given insight into the way you both experience things. I feel as though my sensitivity has been heightened in motherhood. Also both of your descriptions gave me a new layer of understanding about the way my daughter experiences life, so thank you xx

It does feel like it has been heighten in motherhood right? I also wonder if it more that the walls are down and we have to feel more of what we may have learned to push away.
