An essay zine by 三つ目ね子 about the "sensitivity" and "ambition" inside me. ●Title "Living While Remaining Sensitive" A6 bunko size · 72 pages ●About the work "Sensitivity" and "ambition" — They seem like opposing qualities, but both certainly exist within me. When my curiosity wants to run, something puts the brakes on, when I stay still I soon feel restless, and when I act I immediately pick up noise and get exhausted... I used to think it was a truly troublesome temperament, but that contradiction is who I am, and I came to feel I could live while carrying that contradiction — that's the kind of story I wrote. In particular, for people who are fed up with their difficult temperament, for those who actually want to express themselves more freely but feel scared, I would be glad if this book could offer courage or encouragement. #ZINE #Essay #HSP #SensitivePeople
