Holy shit. This video was super upsetting and also kind of affirming. All of it is so true, and I hate it.

I used to sleep so deeply, but now my #flashback #nightmares wake me up, and I can't go back to sleep for hours.

One nitpick: I get what the narrator means when he says that #empaths have an "almost supernatural" #intuition. But it's just natural; nothing supernatural about it. 💙

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
I find it difficult to feel responsible for the suffering of others. That's why I find war so hard to bear. It's the same with animals: I feel the less harm I do, the lighter my heart. I love a light heart. And when I know I'm causing suffering, I feel the heaviness of it. It's a physical pain. So it's self-interest that I don't want to cause harm. -Alice Walker, author (b. 9 Feb 1944)
