The Highly Sensitive Person

HSPs (Highly Sensitive Person) do take in a lot - all the subtleties others miss.  But what seems ordinary to others, like loud music or crowds, can be highly stimulating and thus stressful for HSP's.

Most people ignore sirens, glaring lights, strange odors, clutter and chaos.  HSP's are disturbed by them.

Most people's feet may be tired at the end of a day in a mall or a museum, but they're ready for more when you suggest an evening party.  HSPs need solitude after such a day.  They feel jangled, over aroused.

Most people walk into a room and perhaps notice the furniture, the people - that's about it.  HSPs can be instantly aware, whether they wish to be or not, of the mood, the friendships and enmities, the freshness or staleness of the air, the personality of the one who arranged the flowers.

Sometimes Life Is A Confusing Path

This is one of those moments that I fail to understand what is going on in my life.  Sometimes a confusing path is what stares me directly in the face.  It is like pieces of my life come together and other pieces seem to either get in the way or they fall by the wayside.

It isn't easy to go down this path (a.k.a my life) because there is no rule book or procedure book to show me the way.  It isn't like I can go to page 123 and see what to do on any given day.  It isn't like I can go to any one person and ask for their advice, hoping to hear a clear cut answer to all my questions.

I realize the way forward is one that I must figure out on my own.  I realize if it was so simple that I did not have to grow into it, that it most likely would not help me learn and discover my path.  In many ways, it is all part of my growth, my healing, and finding my way into the life that I am called towards.  It is about me finding and discovering more of who I am.
