Touched-Out and Overstimulated

It's not that you don't love them. It's that your senses are maxed out. The noise, the constant touching, the never-being-alone has your nervous system stuck on high alert, and you crave silence like air. Needing space to be only yours for a few minutes does not make you cold or ungrateful. Even Jesus withdrew from the crowds to be alone. Build in the quiet. It's how you come back.
