For a long time, I prided myself in my ability to not be affected by things. People could come and go and I wouldn't be moved. Life could throw the toughest challenges, and I kept it moving. Then it dawned on me that I'd become numb to life. Moreover, I'd accepted it as my identity and called it not being overly sensitive. Now I'm on my journey re-igniting my sensitivity and I'd love for you to jo...
