Part of being an empath means that when there is a large amount of suffering around me, I can end up experiencing physical pain. I’ve been sick for a bit now after all the horrible stuff has gone down in Baltimoreย (I’ve even developed a stye from all this crying!), but it’s times like this that it’s more important than ever to remember the happy things in life.
I’m hoping you are safe and happy. I’m off to a peace march.

What’s on your happy list this week?
I love this so much. I’m an empath as well and it can definitely be crushing if I don’t try to balance it out. <3 Carry on, sister.
Agreed! You too, darling!
I just found a card you sent me amongst my artsy fun stuff! I didn’t remember that you live in Baltimore… I am very sorry for all that is going on, keep sharing happy.
Aw yay! Yeah, I’m in Baltimore. Thanks for your support, Aloquin!
