I let the world get to me today... Some days, it feels heavy to move through a world where so many people are guarded, rushed, or disconnected from themselves. When you’re a sensitive person, someone who feels deeply, sees beneath the surface, and genuinely wants to show up with honesty and love, this world can feel like a hard place to land.

Authenticity sounds beautiful in theory, but it’s not always easy in practice.

Telling the truth, your truth, requires vulnerability. It means speaking from your heart even when your voice shakes. It means choosing honesty, not to hurt, but to grow connection, clarity, and trust. Yet sometimes, the fear of how others might react becomes louder than your own inner knowing.

What if they get defensive?
What if they shut down?
What if the relationship can’t be repaired?

These are real fears, especially when you’ve lived through moments where honesty cost you something. When people aren’t willing to meet you at the same depth, it can feel like you’re “too much,” or that your emotional honesty is a burden. And when you’re someone who values deep, soul level relationships, the surface level interactions of the world can feel suffocating. 

The drama, the judgements, the gossip, the hate, the violence....... it's all too much to absorb and carry. 

But here’s the truth I keep learning over and over again:

It’s not wrong to want depth and meaning in this life.
It’s not wrong to feel deeply.
It’s not wrong to speak honestly, even when it’s hard.

The world might be dysfunctional at times. People might be guarded, stressed, or unwilling to look inward. But that does not mean your sensitivity is the problem. Sensitivity is a gift. It's a compass, a guide, a way of seeing the world with compassion and clarity. Being sensitive to energy allows me to be able to help a lot of people in Somatic Reiki Healing sessions, but it also comes at a cost. 

So, when the world feels too loud, too disconnected, too out of alignment... When I let the heaviness and disconnection build up inside of me to the point of explosion, disconnecting me from my own true nature...

I remind myself of my truth.

I come back to my yoga practice.

Yoga brings me home to myself, to the breath, to the body, and to that quiet inner place where truth isn’t scary or complicated. On the mat, I remember who I am beneath the roles, expectations, and stories. I soften the armour I’ve built. I reconnect with the part of me that is steady, wise, open, and grounded.

When I move, breathe, and centre myself, the noise of the world fades. I remember that I don’t have to match the energy of disconnection. I don’t have to suppress my truth to keep the peace. I don’t have to apologise for feeling deeply. 

Yoga teaches me how to navigate life with softness and strength at the same time.

It reminds me that relationships built on truth are worth having, and those that fall away because of honesty were never grounded in real connection anyway.

It reminds me that authenticity is an act of courage.
That sensitive doesn’t mean weak.
That speaking truth is a form of self-respect.

And most importantly, it helps me cope with the discomfort of walking through a world that isn’t always aligned, honest, or connected.

Being a sensitive person can be hard. But it’s also beautiful.
Because you feel what others miss.
You care in a world that has forgotten how to.
You tell the truth even when your voice trembles, because it feels soul destroying to keep it in.
You strive for connection rather than surface level.

When you return to your practice, your breath, movement, and the stillness that lives within, you return to the deepest truth of all:

You are whole.
You are grounded.
You are guided.
You are exactly who you’re meant to be.

Keep being you, keep living and speaking your truth.

Love ya,
