I'm Sensitive and I'd Like to Stay That Way

I was listening to HayHouseRadio.com  the other day and one of the show hosts, John Holland, was talking about empathy or clairsentience to a caller, and he said, "The price of sensitivity is sensitivity."

That really struck me and stuck with me. I think I was supposed to be listening so I could hear that. 

The price of sensitivity is sensitivity.  I can't turn it on and off. It is such a gift to be an empath and relate to people on such deep levels, and then it can be so painful when I relate too much and internalize the energies coming at me without realizing it. 

A special thanks to Spirit Flower for helping me with a paradigm shift about that!  

I love Jewel's song I'm Sensitive.

 I'm Sensitive
Jewel
(Pieces Of You)

I was thinking that I might fly today
Just to disprove all the things that you say
It doesn't take a talent to be mean
Your words can crush things that are unseen

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

You always tell me that it's impossible
To be respected and be a girl
Why's it gotta be so complicated?
Why you gotta tell me if I'm hated?

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I was thinking that it might do some good
If we robbed the cynics and took all their food
That way what they believe will have taken place
And we can give it to people who have some faith

So please be careful with me, I'm sensitive
And I'd like to stay that way

I have this theory that if we're told we're bad
Then that's the only idea we'll ever have
But maybe if we are surrounded in beauty
Someday we will become what we see
'Cause anyone can start a conflict
It's harder yet to disregard it
I'd rather see the world from another angle
We are everyday angels
Be careful with me 'cause I'd like to stay that way
