I Want to Tell My Story

Is there an end to this road that we are walking? We must have taken millions of steps since the beginning. I've seen the trees turn into deserts....and the deserts grow to vast open Meadows. I've see the greatest achievements of mankind destroying the perfection of time. Through every bend and every corner, I've never seen a sign of where to stop. I seldom Know that you're walking with me anymore; just an enduring sense that I went the wrong way.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON thank you.

@Notanymore Being an empath, this is very powerful for me.

I have to be surgically precise in terms of what I allow into my life mind heart.

As I have become older, I am mere 'porous' or osmotic (hey, kewl word lol!), perhaps not the best analogy for what is an empath.
But this is what I can give you ( my sugar is dropping! ) presently.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON well understood.

LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON · F

@Notanymore Really?

Say more

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON you take in so much that feelings seem to come from nowhere and can capture even the slightest glimpse of hurt in a stranger to carry around for days, not knowing how to soothe it.

@Notanymore 🙃......

do you identify as an empath too?

Notanymore · 36-40, M

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON occasionally

LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON · F

@Notanymore Then you are empathetic and compassionate probably.

Empath isn't anything that you chose, it chooses you and one can't shut it off.

Even in my sleep, especially then, we are most susceptible, if I was to use a word.

@LunadelobosIAMTHEDRAGON being able to feel for someone when they hurt is not a very rewarding gift.

@Notanymore You make it sound like a Greek tragedy!
There is a world more than you said, and there are different types of empaths.

Animals are empaths: dogs, cats etc.

If humans were not intuitive, it would have been hard to survive back in the old days of hunter gatherers.
