"It is a blessing and a curse
to feel everything so deeply."
~Unknown
Many times, I've lamented
the so called gift of empathy.
I should back up and say . . .
yes, it is a gift. A wonder
in the classroom, a way
to help little children and
loved ones.
Still, an empath tends to
be in emotional pain most
of the time. I understand
this can lead to withdrawal,
perhaps even food or alcohol
abuse.
How can the empath heal?
Alone time helps a great deal.
Meditation is essential, make
no mistake. Spending time
with one or two loved ones,
rather than a people loaded
party, can be quite healing.
There are empaths who help
others. They few who have
learned how to turn off those
pesky residual feelings that
are so painful.
Alas, ever in emotional pain
is a high price to pay for this
quasi gift . . .
