The Life of a Walking Empath

She gracefully lied her body down on the shore line. She paused, took a deep breath in and absorbed the colours of the sunset and the depths of the ocean around her. Her arms spread wide, opening her chest. She couldn’t help but notice her arms felt like wings as she surrendered to the earth beneath her. Her "wings" felt as majestic as maleficent. She allowed her soul to gravitate as her lungs filled with clean salty air. Her mind had been wandering, sometimes to charmed places, other times to murky depths of the chaos that surrounded her. She thought for a split moment, how much of a blessing and a curse it was to feel everything so intensely.  The weight had been bearing so heavy on her shoulders. The weight of society around her. She could gracefully feel it leaving her body as she emptied her mind of the productions that whirled through it.

Just waiting for a day they felt happy...

She detested that humanity had egos that drove their lives. People only worried about money making, egos destroying relationships faster than a hurtling bullet. Mental illness rising as the minutes passed.  People taking their lives and the lives of others like a plague. She felt the pain, and heard the tears of the children around her. Knowing one in five children were diagnosed with a psychological disorder shattered her heart. Small souls just waiting for a day they felt happy, like blowing out the candles on their birthday cake. She loathed that children weren’t feeling this every day. Parents taking children’s lives as if there was no other option for their confused difficulties.  She despised the drug companies, who relied on societies suffering in order to make a profit.

Everywhere she looked, No one was standing on common grounds...

She observed society striving for things that fed their egos, determined for effects that

only supported the chaos and madness. Everyone with an opinion, but defending the sorry state of their own lives.  Selfishness that has everyone following the wrong direction.  The very elements that humanity should avoid, seem to be goals in which to achieve. Constant advertising destroying people’s self-esteem faster than bacteria. Children striving for perfection and unrealistic images that media so untruthfully display. She felt that everywhere she looked, no one was standing on common grounds. She could not help but to be confused by this, as she knew in life everyone shared one common goal. Happiness. Yet everyone destroyed humanity trying to find it. The weird thing was, it is right there, inside of them, they just failed to look within.

She got the impression not many could understand why she spent hours studying psychology and counselling. They only saw the negative impact those scenes would have on her life. Constant questioning of her ability to be able to cope with cases beyond measure. For the empath, this is not as simple as it seems. People were oblivious that for her, she sees and feels those things whether she is involved or not. The empath walks a life, that not many can grasp. Everyone matters to her. She feels the pain of humanity, she experiences others heartache. She tried for many years to ignore the truth of who she was. Her mind spinning faster than anyone else, as she was torn between the revealing of her unconscious truth or staying to the normality of society. The empath knows she cannot change the world, however she could not settle with anything less
than trying.

Clarity lies in the absence of her thoughts

As she graciously lied on the beach, she realised she had to stay conscious to the madness and chaos of society. For staying conscious only ignited her veins and the immense feelings that ran so deep within her. She could no longer conform. She was much more than that. She would no longer be content with the perceived fact she was only cells that determined her biology. Her soul was much superior than her limbs that effortlessly lied on the shore line. She unapologetically opened her arms wider, and discovered she was here for a soul purpose.  She was here to release her soul that circulated through her roots. For the empath, she had to stay grounded and take control of her mind. For once she controls her mind, once she awakens to the fact that clarity lies in the absence of her thoughts, she would be unstoppable.
