Feeling pain is a sign of a healthy body and heart; numbness is not what the living are meant for. Nerves are designed to respond, to fire when struck with pain—not to remain dormant.
So, the next time someone mocks you for being sensitive or hypersensitive, tell them—sensitivity is directly proportional to both humanity and being alive.
And remind your heart—they aren’t just blind to emotion but ignorant of science and human physiology itself.
