I am used to being in role of victim. Having my energy ****** out of me by dark forces isn't fun. Having my heart drained of love and warmth till there is nothing for me. Every shower I try to get rid of the feeling of awfulness that comes with being an empath. I want to care too much, love too much and be the imperfect me. I can't do that when parts of me that I enjoy caring for are exhausted, tainted and impure with emotions of others. I can't function when I don't have all of my wits and strengths. I can't function when I lose my mind. I can't function when I am not all there. I envy people who can socialize without feeling like you aren't enough for the crowds. I don't trust many and unconditionally love few. I am not perfect and I don't try to be perfect.
