“Approximately 15 to 20 percent of the population has a nervous system wired to be more sensitive. These people are more attuned to the subtleties of their environment and process that information much more deeply compared to others without this trait. While being more observant might be a survival advantage, it can also be overwhelming. Someone who is constantly aware of the subtleties of the environment and of the people around them can quickly experience sensory overload. My clients who consider themselves to be HSPs [highly sensitive persons] often report experiencing a certain type of disorganized attachment because the world itself is too much. Due to their increased sensitivity, even normal everyday events can feel too intense, too chaotic or too stimulating, leaving little respite to feel settled, safe and secure. In relationships, HSPs are often unclear as to whether what they are feeling has its origin in themselves or if their partner's feelings are creating that 'one foot on the gas, one foot on the brake' experience in their nervous system. They want to be close to people, but being close can be a sensory assault that is confusing or that dysregulates them for days.”

“If you have ever cried out of love and care for someone, you will never be able to hate or forget them because tears fall only for those who touch our soul and once our soul connects with someone, they become an inseparable part of us.”

“When love leaves a scar on your heart rejoice for you are one with life. When love leaves you without a trace of ever being yours then that was never love. Rejoice in the fact you have seen love’s imitation. Real love is yet to show its face.
Your life is not yours to give. Your life lives only in the person you gave your love to. But remember this—if your love is rejected so is your life rejected, but your life was not rejected by you. It was rejected by your love.
Sorrow can be tearful,
Never easy to explain.
We bear it individually,
Suffering without shame.
