Sensitive

I am a very sensitive individual.

Most would say, and many close to me have said, too sensitive.

I know this.

Have known this for a long, long time.

But does this make me weak?

I somehow relate my oversensitivity to weakness, because I feel like if I were stronger and toughened up I wouldn't get hurt as much...but would I still love as hard?  

Feel as much passion about the things that I do?

Care about my patients, family, friends?

Would I still be me?

Is there a happy medium I can find, where I can still be me, but just not let things affect me negatively like they do sometimes?
