What did I do wrong?
A question by a sensitive soul
One I know I should let go of.
Not always, but often.
Let it pass through
I’ve been in surroundings that made me doubt myself more than I should.
I wish someone happy birthday in the kindest way I can,
only to receive a response that shows it’s not welcome.
Most people won’t even notice.
But I do.
My ego goes into fear mode.
Afraid to make people upset.
Afraid to make people angry.
Such a small thing, such a huge fear.
I understand I am safe,
yet my brain and nervous system think otherwise.
A more logical approach would be:
Maybe they simply don’t like getting older?
Maybe they didn’t sleep well.
And let it pass through…
Too intimate
But if you are like me,
a person who feels energies from others too deeply,
you can’t.
Or at least that how it feels, right?
It’s difficult not to doubt yourself.
So you wonder:
- What’s wrong with me?
Nothing. - Did I do something wrong?
No. - Should I apologize?
Probably not.
Understanding that your environment is living to a different tune is crucial.
Understanding that even if your heart is open,
it can be difficult for people to receive.
Your softness can be too intimate for souls who are used to tension.
To you my dear
So no dear, ❤️
You didn’t do anything wrong.
Your heart is simply wide open,
so you feel any cold breeze.
And for a sensitive soul a cold breeze feels like a snowstorm.
Not because you’re weak, but because you feel deeper.
The child part in you is still trying to receive love the way you give it.
From people who may have never felt what that feels like.
You are a mirror for anyone who can’t carry your light.
That is your gift.
But you no longer have to carry their tension in your heart.
It’s time to let it go.
A message from me to my own thoughts,
and to YOU. 
I share my truth, because realness creates connection. Vulnerability opens a space where others can feel seen, and safe, ready to embrace who they truly are. If it resonates, share it and leave a message.
