I struggled for a long, long time- being defined as difficult.

I was told I was difficult or “too sensitive” for so many years that I would sacrifice any need, no matter how fundamentally necessary, to avoid it.

I really didn’t want to be those things.

Until one day, I realized- I’m not “too sensitive.”

I’m a full hearted human.

I’m not difficult. I’m fighting for even a shred of dignity. Respectfully.

Eventually I came to peace.

If being too sensitive or difficult to someone, while I’m kindly trying to be myself, then that’s okay.

I don’t spend my energy trying to prove myself anymore.

It’s the most freeing feeling ever to know I am truly enough.

That my needs are not unreasonable or difficult.

That my emotions are not too sensitive.

Healing is hard. The reward is sanity and stability and abundant peace.
