This reminds us that we don’t have to chase approval, love, or validation to be worthy of receiving it. When a flower focuses on simply being what it is—opening, growing, blooming—it naturally attracts what is meant for it. It doesn’t contort itself, it doesn’t overthink, and it doesn’t try to be anything other than its authentic self.

In the same way, when you focus on your own growth—tending to your needs, nurturing your healing, and allowing yourself to become who you truly are—you create the conditions for healthy relationships, opportunities, and connections to come into your life naturally. There’s no forcing, no proving, no striving for someone else to choose you.

It’s a gentle reminder that your job is to bloom.
What’s meant for you will recognize you.

Shout out to my fellow HSPs. This is a really cool post about the power of music. Being a Highly Sensitive Person has some incredible perks.

Some people feel a sudden shiver rise through their body when they hear a powerful song. This reaction is known as frisson, a real psychological and physiological response that occurs when music triggers an intense emotional surge. Scientists describe it as a “skin orgasm,” a deep sensory rush caused by your brain releasing dopamine, the chemical linked to pleasure, motivation, and reward.

Frisson usually happens during moments of emotional intensity in music. It could be a sudden beat drop, a dramatic vocal shift, or a beautiful melody that connects with your memories. Research shows that people who experience frisson often have brains wired with stronger emotional sensitivity. They also tend to score higher in the personality trait called openness to experience, which includes creativity, imagination, and a deep appreciation for art.

This reaction is not random. When your brain anticipates something powerful in a song and then the moment arrives unexpectedly, the reward system activates, sending chills across your skin. It is your brain responding to emotional beauty with physical signals.

Frisson proves how deeply music is tied to human psychology. It shows that a simple sound can unlock hidden memories, shift your mood, and create a physical experience in seconds. If music gives you goosebumps, your brain is working on a deeper emotional level than most people realize.

This resonates…..

“You’re still grieving?”
Yes. I am.

Sorry if that makes you uncomfortable.
Sorry if you don’t understand.

But grief doesn’t magically disappear after 12 months, or any timeline someone else has decided is “long enough.”

Grief changes, yes — but it doesn’t end.

It becomes part of who you are. It weaves itself into your story.

Some days I laugh. Some days I cry. Some days I do both at the same time.

Grief isn’t a phase I’m trying to “get over.”
It’s love that has nowhere to go.
It’s memories that still live inside me.
It’s missing someone who will always matter.

So if you’re wondering — yes, I’m still grieving.

And honestly, I always will.
Because the people I lost are still a part of who I am.

Because love like that doesn’t just disappear.
And because real grief isn’t something you move past — it’s something that shapes you.

If you’ve never experienced this, I’m genuinely happy for you.

But for those of us who have — just know you’re not broken.

You’re not “too much.”
You’re simply human.
And you’re doing better than you think.
