The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another.

-James Baldwin

It's a fact that some people are too sensitive. if you don't have any bite in you, if you take everything personally, if you have no capacity for objectivity, or room for criticisms, and you let other people trample all over you - then yeah, you're too sensitive. sorry. for your own sake, you need to learn how to stand up for yourself
