iāve always been a crybaby, notoriously so. as the youngest child of four, it was a title i wore since quite literally the day i was born. every minor inconvenience would send hot tears streaming down my face and my heart would break fifteen times a day. it still does if iām being honest. two weeks ago my apartment flooded while i wasnāt home all day, and i had to call my landlord and explain what happened between heavy sobs and panicked hyperventilating. he chuckled at me, but came over to help quite quickly. i try not to beat myself up over it. itās a blessing to feel everything so intensely all the time. like yes, that cashier had a bit of a tone when she spoke to me and yeah, i will be thinking about what i did to deserve that for the next two days. but also, my sensitivity allows me to find beauty and meaning in the most mundane things every single day. i can see the sunlight breaking through the tree branches and write entire pages about how life is worth living again. iāve been moved by witnessing kind exchanges between strangers. when i was 17, my carās engine broke down and i didnāt have 4k to fix it. i loved that car and i sobbed so hard all day when i found out. but later that day, a stranger in front of me in line paid for my food and suddenly, just like that, i knew everything was going to work out for me.

šMy earliest school memory is my mom telling my teacher two things āidk whatās wrong with her but can you let her get up and walk around every few hoursā and āsheās very sensitiveā. Now that Iām an āadultā I know two things are for certain: I am autistic, and I want to remain sensitive. I cry tears of sadness when I think of sad hypotheticals, I cry tears of joy when I see toddlers laughing, I cry tears of anger when Iām frustrated. I cry for my father who is too āmanlyā to do so, I cry for my sister who is too ātoughā to do so, I cry for my mother who is too ānumbā to do so, I cry for my grandma who is too ābrokenā to do so, and I cry for my grandfather who is too ālostā to do so. Society has always tried to shame me for being sensitive but I would rather be sensitive than uncaring. Just because the world is cruel doesnāt mean I have to be. Everyone tries to toughen up the sensitive child but I think we should let them grow into adults. My sensitivity has a allowed me to organize with my community, it has allowed me to peruse a degree in law at a relatively fast pace, and it has allowed me to reflect on all my pain and trauma with a lenses of hope for my future.

š¤I have spent so many years hiding the fact that I feel things very deeplyā¦ I was always told i was too sensitive, and I would cry at anything that made me even a little sad. I pushed it down so far that I now often struggle to cry at the big, real things. But recently Iāve been opening myself up to feeling the heaviness and depth of sadness. Even over small stuff. I forget how rich the feeling can be even though it hurts. but big feelings also mean big happiness! Now that Iāve been welcoming my emotions more, I have more chances to feel joyful and proud and happy and loving. Reminding myself that feeling deeply is a gift! š

šŖ·either itās been imbedded in my dna or itās the circumstances i was placed in. im somehow always crying during movies when a character is going through something devastating, eyes watering because a song is āso goodā, or even silent and trying to soak up the moment because i know iāll remember forever.

treating my relationship with weed more like a ritual for end of day relaxation rather than a necessity to block out anxiety/mood swings has helped me so much. iāve been adding in herbs like jasmine, damiana, mugwort, etc into the mix as well, which is fun because it makes me feel like a witch running a little herbal apothecary (bonus point for putting the herbs into little glass bottle with cork tops). anyways buying beautiful glassware is a fundamental step for me as well, because itās impossible for me to do literally anything without romanticizing tf out of it.
