This is so pretty. The line about the sun is especially gorgeous; it makes me think of Tangled for some reason.

re: thank you for the kind comment. i was kind of worried that that piece would be scattered and hard to understand, but it sounds like that wasn’t really the case. which i’m so happy about.
i’ve never considered entering into a competition, nor do i really want to at the moment. thanks for the information though!

re: oooh thats a good idea! Altho i dont think it will work for this vause the story is super (and i mean super) short. like i said in the message box...its mainly focused on developing the characters in flashbacks. you'll see why at the end of the story. but i might use that idea for a different story of mine

re: yes i def agree about "henchmen" that word is a bit of a filler cause i don't know what else to call them. I do mention them later as in "second in command, third...etc" but that gets too wordy. I tried to make tallis know them as "goons" but that still didnt even really work haha

Re: yeah, I understand. I’ve always felt different from other kids. In the past (especially when I was really little) I’ve felt overly emotional and sensitive. I used to cry a lot as a really young child. My parents asked me jokingly when I was like 3 or 4 who was my favorite between them, and I started crying because I didn’t want to pick. I’m much better now, I’ve gotten stronger with age, but I’m still very emotional. It’s hard, and I’m still learning how to cope with it. But talking about it and writing about it really helps me. And of course praying is always great too.
I also used to have really extreme anxieties that others didn’t understand. I felt really weird and stupid sometimes, but now I understand that part of that was the HSP mindset. I went through a phase where I couldn’t throw away trash. It was bad. But I’ve worked through that (thank goodness) and I’m still learning every day.
It’s also hard sometimes because you really care about others. I think that’s why we are more prone to *extreme* crushes and getting hurt by others. It’s good to know that’s the way we are, so we understand ourselves better.
One thing I can say, is that sometimes it feels bad to be so sensitive. I’ve wished sometimes I could be really tough, and nothing would really bother me. But I’ve learned, being sensitive is NOT just a bad thing. It’s enabled me to look at things in a different way then others, and it’s helped me to understand others better. And, I even have extreme intuition (it’s like a sixth sense; I can go into a room and feel the mood. It’s helpful to sometimes know what you’re walking into).
So, all that to say, I’m still figuring myself out. But basically, don’t consider it a label or a “condition”, because there are many good things about being sensitive. No matter what others say.
I’m always here if you want to talk about it (or anything). Just let me know if you want to know anything else; I’ve had many experiences with being sensitive, I guess.

Re: I’ll keep praying for you. Coping strategies? Is is mostly bothering you because you didn’t know what it was, or just the HSP traits in general? Just so I can get a clear idea...

Re: aw, I’m so sorry that you didn’t know! Thank you for letting me know. Can I help in any way? I’ll be praying for you. <3333

Re: wow, that’s so interesting that you’re just now figuring that out! But yeah, keep researching and lmk what you find out! And I’m always here if you want to talk.
Rohan’s Defender
Re: wow, that’s so interesting! Please, feel free to leave as many comments as you want! Wow. I’m not sure then. I know I’ve always been a HSP, but I know they’re rare. So you aren’t an introvert or an extrovert? I know usually a HSP is an introvert, but I think like 30% are extroverts (that’s me). I don’t know if you went to the website I told Connor about, Focus on the Family. It might help you self-access. Maybe you’re both? But that’s really interesting that you didn’t know that about yourself. I’d love for you to update me when you find out more!

Re: :)

awesome piece! lot of interesting lines, but I think my favorite is "but I too wish to hold moonbeams"
Re: Ah, that's interesting! Good for you :) And thanks
FantasyOtter12
Ahh the hummingbird on the dashboard inspired THIS?!?! SOO good "but i too wish to hold moonbeams / the night sky is the only thing we share"

woah... this is beautiful! if this is what you write when you don't know what to write, wow... i'm jealous!! :D really, though, this is stunning. "the night sky is the only thing we share / and it's the closest i could get to holding you" woah this took my breath away. When I was trying to pick a favorite line, I highlighted the majority of the piece before landing on this one. It's so dynamic and silky and heartache-y... i love it! and the ending, too... whew that was beautiful. ethereal indeed!
nice job, dear, i absolutely love this <333 :)
