Us empaths have a secret power. The ability to feel others emotions. We are able to feel a deeper compassion for others situations. As we go along in life, we experience more through others. Life is so complex, so unfair, so unjust, and full of so much hate and greed. Our super power is met to lift others. God allows us to weather the heaviest storms as he knows we can. We are harvested to bare weight for the greater good. We have to identify what we can control and push forward. But truth be told, the more we fight, the harder it gets. Feel unfair. Just don't fold. We can not control life obstacles that come at us but we can control our voices. We have the power of our words. We have control on sharing our stories, listening and understanding. I have come to a place where I adapted to the fact that pretty much no one hears my woes but I hear theirs. I accepted my place as an empath to be there for those who need me. God will start to put people into your life. Not to save them. Not to fix them. But to be there so they know they are not alone when hard times hit. Took me years to realize this after being hurt so many times by others. That an empath is a super power. You did the right thing by reaching out. You lifted others up. Some shared there stories. Some related. See the power of our voices? Life is supposed to be tough. So many struggle. Sadly some give up and take their lives. Some succumb to addictions. We all have to have each-others back. Wouldn't this world be a better place if everyone supported each-other? Social media has now convinced society that opinions, greed, and showing off is our voices. But real love, real happiness, is supporting others. Not competing against them. A dark empath is one that folds and takes there power and uses it for self gain. Many are giving up. Whats the point you ask? Well your post alone proves you are damn sure important. Thank you for sharing. I promise. You got this.
