There is a song by Jewel that I relate to:
"I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
You words can crush things that are unseen
So please be careful with me,
I'm sensitive and I'd like to stay that way."
But I DON'T want to stay that way.
Being sensitive is a hindrance when you work with a team of boys. :) I often get frustrated when my feelings are hurt and I can't shake it.
Being sensitive encourages me to hold grudges, take things personally and avoid constructive criticism.
Being sensitive affects my relationships in a negative, destructive way.
I think I will sing a different version of this song from now on:
"I was thinking that I might fly today
Because I appreciate many things that you've said
Everyone's intention is not mean
Words can build things that are unseen
So please be patient with me,
I'm sensitive, but I don't have to stay that way."
Love this post, Momma. I can totally relate to this is so many ways. It was definitely a well-timed post as well, I needed to hear it right now. Your blog rocks. Don't ever stop writing it.
