Are you an Empath? I am! What does that mean?

I am an Empath! What does that mean?

It means I don’t just understand what others are feeling — I feel it myself, almost like it’s my own. I often know what someone needs before they say it, and I can walk away carrying some of their sadness too.

So, over many years around the sun, it can quietly wear on you… not that you don’t care.

I have learnt skills to know every soul has its own path and it is not my place “to rob people of a bottom that could be their path to much needed growth”. I have learnt I can’t save people. It always feels sad and awkward at first to let friends and family figure their path out. While I know I love and support them on their journey. Therefore I hold on to God’s hand to get me and them where we need to be.
