Gentle Sparks
For a very long time, people did not realise that Sparkly People existed.
But they were always there.
On every continent.
In every country.
In every town.
There is probably a Sparkly Person on your street.
There might even be one in your own home.
At first, Sparkly People look just like everyone else.
But inside them, something extraordinary is happening.
Sparkly People feel the world very deeply.
They notice tiny details that others walk past.
They feel joy like fireworks bursting across the sky.
They feel sadness like deep ocean waves.
They care about kindness, fairness and beauty.
They are often curious, imaginative and thoughtful.
Sometimes the world can feel overwhelming.
Bright lights.
Loud sounds.
Too many thoughts.
Too many feelings all at once.
Many Sparkly People grow up wondering why they feel things so strongly.
Why they notice so much.
Why their minds seem to move in every direction at once.
But slowly, many Sparkly People discover something wonderful.
Their sensitivity is not a flaw.
Their curiosity is not a weakness.
Their imagination is not something to hide.
These things are part of their sparkle.
Everyone has a little sparkle inside them.
But Sparkly People are full of sparkle.
Sparkles of every colour, dancing quietly inside them.
Not colours you can see with your eyes.
Colours you can feel.
Golden sparks of joy.
Soft green sparks of kindness.
Deep blue sparks of calm.
Warm pink sparks of care.
Purple sparks that help them feel connected.
Most people cannot see these colours.
Sparkly People often cannot see them either.
They only know something feels different.
The world feels brighter.
More beautiful.
When Sparkly People feel happy, their sparkle glows warmly all around them.
When they feel calm, their sparkle becomes steady and quiet, like trees breathing in the wind.
Sparkly People often feel very connected to nature.
But sometimes the world becomes louder.
Too sharp.
Too confusing.
Their colours can swirl into storms.
Heavy grey clouds of tiredness.
Flashes of red frustration.
Deep indigo sadness.
Sparkly People feel everything very strongly.
Sometimes their sparkle shines so brightly that everyone around them feels it.
Sometimes people say Sparkly People are “too much”.
But one day, something wonderful happens.
They begin to notice their sparkle.
A tiny flicker at first.
A shimmer.
A warm glow just beneath the surface.
And when they notice it, they begin to understand something important.
They were never too much.
They were never too sensitive.
They were never different in the wrong way.
They are not broken.
They are sparkly.
They are Sparkly People.
