Day 38 of Happy: Insights

This article "What it Means to Have the Heart of an Empath" is like a window into my soul... Wow!! Have you ever read something and thought "Is this me writing to me??" cause damn! That just happened. Some lines summed me up so perfectly it was like someone was writing down a description of me for me to see:

'You enter rooms filled with strangers and feel suffocated by the invisible sparks of electricity flickering in the air.'

'No one has ever done you wrong, no matter how bad the crime, without you [taking the time to] understanding why they did so.'

'Everyone and everything has a story you’re dying to memorize.'

I believe this wholeheartedly! I love getting to know people. I love learning their story. It might be one of my most favorite things in life. I find it fascinating what words people use when talking about their lives (I used lives on purpose. Some people believe they've lived numerous lives... and other people have lived many lives within this one life). I feel like if there is ever a misunderstanding between two people, if each of them would sit down with the intention of actually hearing what the other person is saying (and not sitting down to make the other person understand their side of the story), then a lot could be accomplished! 

"When we reveal more, we have less to hide. When we have less to hide, we are less worried about being found out. When we are less worried about being found out, we can pay better attention to someone else. In this way, telling the truth makes intimacy and freedom possible." ~ Radical Honesty
