lsdiamondDear God, I hate being an empath sometimes.
That's not really true. I love people so much. I love...need...to relate to them. There's nothing more satisfying than helping someone who's having a rough time. It's special to be there for someone who needs you. It's different than being the provider of all needs. I wouldn't say it's any more important, but it's what I'm made to do. It fits me better than does 'breadwinner'.
I've been given just the thing to get me out of this pathetic funk I've been in for so long. The Voice was right...all I had to do was ask.
All the same...it hurts to be in such pain for someone, especially knowing that truly all you can do is be there to listen if they need you. It's hard to be limited in that way.
It hurts to have been there, to hear their words and be reminded of dark days, some not so long ago. I can only hope to be a light, and pray for strength to be what I must.
