“All things real, in a world of make believe“
A post about Empaths, their internal battles and light within ~ Photographer: @mjcaptures
“A wall to keep others out also keeps you trapped inside. A self contained, prison or wonderland ~ depending on your perspective.”
She considered herself a good judge of character, always going with her intuition, the ‘gut feelings‘. An emotion lingering in the pit of her stomach and tracing down the back of her spine.
That moment when someone passes by, and without a word ~ you just ‘know’, maybe you get a transfer of energy, or perhaps a heavy feeling, slowly draining you. You’re an Empath. You feel everything, you’re a ‘fix it’ person, a confidante for friends and complete strangers. And within seconds others tell you ‘their story’, you wouldn’t have it any other way. In the face of uncertainty we often run towards the ‘danger’, blind and hoping to find the eye of the storm; the control centre...
An Empath is someone who is highly in-tune with the emotions of those directly and indirectly around them, misunderstood as a person who is empathetic. They are not sympathisers, they aren’t just understanding. They feel your emotions as if they were their own...
Empaths are said to see the world through a different light, “rose tinted glasses” some would say, seeming to focus on the ‘good’ and not the ‘bad’, making connections as they go. A way of observing. A fail safe, a wall built more stable and taller than the Great Wall of China - Literally, BUT the wall to keep others out, also keeps you trapped INSIDE. A self contained, prison or wonderland ~ depending on your perspective. A consistent struggle between light and dark. Helping others with their burdens only to consume them for themselves.
Empaths are not ignorant nor naive... they are not the sheltered, the broken or the ‘emotional’, the “rose tinted” view is a chosen state, the second line of defence to the ‘Great Wall’. The ‘understanders and observers’, walking a mile in the shoes of paths cross; all in a single moment.
Warriors EMPATHS Repeat This:
• I am doing the best I can
• It is not my job to help everyone
• Time for yourself is not selfish - it’s a necessity
• Trust your intuition, it’s usually right (Your super power)
• Listen to your body
• Regenerate, replace your energy
One last thing:
• Consider opening your secret door of the Great Wall, for it is a lonely place in a fortress of your own making...
