Tik Tok and Instagram have a 1-minute limit on videos, Twitter has a 280 character limit… just maybe this has caused an uptick in people with short attention spans and and difficulty reading between the lines.  Because if it does, it shows.

being sensitive isn't a drawback

often people who are sensitive by nature are told to harden themselves up emotionally. they are told not to feel so much else it'll be difficult to live in this harsh world.

being sensitive is not something to be ashamed of. you have an added gentleness to your nature in these times when everything is a bit more rough than required.

make your sensitivity your most prized possession and value it instead of feeling low about it. be proud of your feelings. care as much as you do. that's what makes you the beautiful person that you are ✨

A concept: You decide to visit your local family-owned coffee shop on a brisk, rainy day. You’re greeted by the shop’s owner with a warm smile as you make your way to a seat near the window, resting your thick coat on the back of the chair before you sit down. A waitress approaches you and takes your order, a warm croissant and single black coffee, no sugar or milk. Silence falls upon the shop, as you are their only customer so early in the day. You gaze absentmindedly out of the window, thinking of your dead lover, a single tear falling as the thunder booms.

As you write, you will naturally improve. Do not wait until you think you are good enough to start. You are always good enough to start improving.
