I've been thinking lately about people who are "too" sensitive. People who seem to not fit into the cool crowd. People who have a mental illness, even a little bit of depression. Or people with so called learning disabilities. Maybe even people with autism, severe allergies, and anger problems. I have left out many others, I'm sure. I think there are so many people sensitive to the world we live in because we as a human race are changing. We can't tolerate all the bullshit anymore. Weather it's toxins in our food and environment or the blatant numbing, uncaring attitude taken by so many people. We aren't allowing it any more.
Times are changing. Many can feel it and are adjusting. We are separating ourselves from those in our lives who are hurtful. Many people are changing their diets to accommodate our sensitive bodies as well. The sale of organic food has become cheaper and more available as the demand for it rises. Many people have learned the benefits of nature walks which I think will lead to a caring for the earth, an area we're still behind in.
As a "sensitive" person I have hope that things are heading to a beautiful future, full of authentic interactions between people and nurturing treatment of ourselves and our environment. I believe us "sensitive" people can't flourish in the sick world we have today and so will become teachers to create this beautiful world I know is on its way. I see bits and pieces of it everywhere. To those who are struggling as a "sensitive" person, please have hope in the knowledge that the world needs us to shake up all the muck and clear it away for a beautiful tomorrow.
We have a responsibility to, as gently as possible, take care of our special needs so we can become beacons for others, teaching adventure, compassion and sustainability along the way.
