I often think that we sensitive, quiet ones are more courageous than anyone else can understand. We get up every morning to face the "firing squad" and make our way through the day assailed by noise, information, our acute observations, and our tender emotions at every moment. Yet we persist.

We have the reputation of being "too sensitive" and "thin-skinned," yet we are here, we accomplish, we create, we love.

So timely for me. I literally was just crying because of how difficult I have been finding my job lately. I try and try to think of other options but feel trapped. So I carry on. Some days all right and others less so. I am going to try this author. A novel that plays back the feelings I have experienced in my life is such a treasure.
