I am constantly amazed at the ability of my three gems to create and see and feel the world in ways that I so clearly don't understand. We all grow and live in a world that is geared so much for the Hardy and Highly Hardy that it takes enormous energy and empathy and kindness and awareness to get through.<br /><br />I salute you. Keep breathing and find the calm and gentle where you can.Emilyhttp://calicostretch.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-68176363183148036312018-11-24T15:12:10.891-05:002018-11-24T15:12:10.891-05:00No worries. :) I write too, actually.

I'm sure Kristin has tried that kind of thing, not a urge-to-change. Just a "hey, this thing that looks like it's hard is actually a thing that makes my life better".Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755578765945858847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-40933422240905962832018-11-13T17:07:35.740-05:002018-11-13T17:07:35.740-05:00Love this, lots.

I wonder what we would be like in the same room together -- I feel emotions so viscerally, over my arms and the back of my neck and in my chest and wheeee-eee the list goes on.<br /><br />I found you through a review about EM, as I was searching for deconstructed EM bras. I'm currently trying to write an algorithm for custom bra patterns. It's... very difficult, and I'm trying to figure out some geometric relationships at larger sizes. Any thoughts? I feel like we should hang out. \o/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-13082543612837275232018-11-12T12:12:10.677-05:002018-11-12T12:12:10.677-05:00Such a treat to find a new post from you, Kristin,...Such a treat to find a new post from you, Kristin, and with the replies from Frances and Lisa my three favorite internet writers are here. (Not meaning to leave you out, hearth, I just don't know you.) Reading all this, I am reminded of Dabrowski's work on overexcitabilites in gifted children. It is very hard for highly sensitive adults, as well as children, to live in our world.Marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-43727475404573075262018-11-10T22:33:31.734-05:002018-11-10T22:33:31.734-05:00Whoa!

As long as you can find ways to sit above the flow of stimuli, rather than it peck you death (she says as she cuddles on her sofa in the early afternoon, feeling energy ebb and waiting for it to flow back.)LPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209861350905135093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-5633794948231206132018-11-10T10:01:55.041-05:002018-11-10T10:01:55.041-05:00Oh yes!

It's abundantly clear, if I'm thoughtful about it, why I get frazzled and sick and spend the early hours awake far too often, and he can keep going and going. We have a houseful of family right now, including a Very Active Three and a Seven-Month Babe, and I'm desperate for an hour on the flour of a dark, closed closet-- whereas he cranked out handmade pasta for the spaghetti and meatballs he served with roast vegetables last night for eight of us. And then did the dishes while we ate my contribution, the lemon tarts I picked up at a very good Patisserie nearby (so my discernment, basically, was my contribution). Granted, I did some kid-wrangling and dispensed plenty of loving Nana vibes, but with a day and a half of the visit to go (and a 24-hour stint of having the two Littles on our own while Mama and Papa go play, as they should), I'm already beginning to panic about my stomach cranking up the GERD. Whereas he'll wake in another hour full of energy for another day (helps that he sleeps so well when he has the chance -- I'm so envious of that!). But yes, it does help for me to know that our different levels of sensitivity do privilege me in some ways. I could do without the crazy adrenaline spike--never mind the embarrassment of having shouted out my shock-- every time someone comes too quietly into a room and then speaks to me. . . (combine high sensitivity with poor hearing and you find me yelping at least five times a day -- so wearing, and I doubt that cortisol does my waistline much good ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-91322390324213797602018-11-09T22:40:09.965-05:002018-11-09T22:40:09.965-05:00Well, keep talking, because it's useful.
Alth...Well, keep talking, because it's useful.<br /><br />Although, I will say that learning to pick up heavy things reduced my overall level of frazzle. Maybe there's a connection there. It helped balance me, weightlifting did.Hearthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17755578765945858847noreply@blogger.com
