Wow! Thank you for all that you put into this piece. This is me in so many ways, and I am slowly unraveling these truths and what it means for me in now in life as I shed the stories of what I thought I was. Instead you beautifully put into this piece all the amazing gifts we highly sensitive people have to share and bring others to the amazing ability we have as humans to soak into the love we came to this Earth truly with.
I'm so glad this spoke to you, Cory! That was my hope - that other highly sensitive creatives would find a sense of camaraderie, knowing they are not alone in their sensitive experiences of life.
I have read this through once and my eyes are filled with tears. I see myself in your words. I listened to a podcast recently with Alanis Morissette, and she talked about being a HSP. I had never really made the connection to myself but like with your piece, I became emotional listening to her talk about her experiences in life. I felt seen. I felt understood. I UNDERSTOOD myself a little better. I can't believe how many ah-ha moments I just experienced reading your piece. I am trying to pack to get out the door to see my very special girl whose college is shutting down unexpectedly, but I needed to tell you how much this beautiful essay - with its heart AND its facts - struck me. I see this as a reader, and I thank you for this connective experience -- but I also see this as a writer, and I am in awe. This type of essay takes time, thought, energy, and so much more. And we get to read it! This feels like a miracle to me today. Thank you, Jeannie. You are a GIFt, and I am so glad you share your gift with us.
PS I am going to read this several more times. I may even print it out - which is what my overwhelmed brain needs to do to really take in the writing that means something to my heart.
Rachel, it is a gift for me to know I am able to minister to you in some way, as you have to me so many times.
I have felt a connection with you as a person, as well as your message, since my friend Katie first gave me your book, Only Love Today.
Not only do I aspire to be the kind of writer you are, but I also hope to be the type of mom you are, the one who is supporting her young adult daughter because of her college closing its doors.
Thank you for being here with me and for always taking the time to respond thoughtfully to me, Rachel. I consider you a friend and hope you feel the same.
May your time with your daughter be one of connection and love and peace. ❤️
