Persevering Paige

I often find myself in the middle of a moment where I am feeling everything in the world. I have accepted these moments as happening regularly and part of being Paige. They have always been a part of my experience and I have yet to figure out how to change that. I don’t think I ever will. So in surrendering, I have found the good. If I didn’t feel deeply, I may not be a writer, or at the very least, a passionate one. If I wasn’t this way, I may not care about others and exhibit empathy the way that I do. I may not be able to relate to others’ so effortlessly. If I wasn’t this way, I doubt I would have much interest in being a teacher. I have been accused of being too sensitive and maybe I am, however, I have found that I am just in tune with the human experience. If you are going to live, you should feel every second of it. If I wasn’t this way, I wouldn’t be Paige, and I truly couldn’t imagine being anyone else.
