I used to dislike being
sensitive because I
thought it made me
weak, but take away
that single trait and
you take away the
very essence of who
I am.

You take away my
conscience, my ability
to empathize, my
intuition, my
creativity, my deep
appreciation for the
little things, my vivid
inner life, my deep
awareness of other's
pain and my passion
for it all.

You will never know
the value of a moment
until it becomes a
memory and realize
that any fool can
know, the point is to
understand.
