when it comes to affection, i'm the opposite of desensitized. i don't want to say i'm sensitive because that has a completely different connotation. is sensitism a word?

i get various degrees of uncomfortable when people touch me-- i'm talking about little things like people pinching my cheeks or linking their arm around mine. i'm also bad at giving compliments... i have to think hard about what to say, to avoid being cliched/cheezy... phrases like, "this means alot to me" and "you're so sweet/cute/awesome/etc" don't roll off my tongue.

and when i sing the words "i can't stop falling in love with you... i'll never stop falling in love with you", it really moves me.

Better Than Life
by Marty Sampson

Better than the riches of this world
Better than the sound of my friends' voices
Better than the biggest dreams of my heart
And that's just the start...

Better than getting what I say I need
Better than living the life that I want to
Better than the love that anyone could give
Your Love is...

You hold me now in Your arms and never let me go
You oh Lord make the sun shine
And the moon light in the night sky
You give me breath and all your love
I give my heart to you because...

I can't stop falling in love with you
I'll never stop falling in love with you
