Such a beautiful reframe. I especially loved the succulent metaphor — sensitive people not as fragile orchids, but as succulents that keep absorbing nourishment and eventually bloom. I love succulents, so that line won me over even more💗

Succulents are the best! I'm a big fan too which is why that analogy stayed with me 😊 So glad you enjoyed the piece! Thank you, Madda 💕

Hear you, see you and feel every word of it. Becoming aware about our own sensitivities and adapting to it takes time. But becoming home with it, does wonders to you own pov and self esteem
