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.
