On being an EMPATH. It's not what you may think...
People often imagine an Empath as a cute blue-eyed fairy, with a gentle voice.
Gentle in her movements.
And quiet in her speech.
One who wouldn't twist a hair!
But a real Empath is not just light!
She is a being of two poles.
And her darkness is as deep as her sensitivity!
And she is well aware of it!
An Empath is not weak.
An Empath is dangerously sensitive!
And that is precisely her darkness!
1. An Empath sees the truth that others prefer not to see!
An Empath doesn't just read emotions.
She has the gift of reading intentions.
She reads what is hidden.
She reads what others are trying to mask!
And that is dark.
Because seeing the truth that others deny really hurts.
And sometimes it isolates a person!
An Empath is really not naive.
He just keeps quiet because he knows more than he says.
2. An empath feels what he would rather not feel
An empath feels the pain of others.
But he also feels their:
- envy
- manipulation
- hidden (passive) aggression
- impure intentions
- insincerity
And all of this often runs through his body like a cold current or electricity!
This is not cute.
This is a dark gift that makes a person see the world without filters!
3. An empath's darkness is his limit
When an empath says "enough", it is not a grand explosion.
It is the final closing of the door.
Silent!
Final!
Irreversible!
An empath does not attack.
But he cuts off the energy completely.
And that is much stronger than any scream!
His darkness is not destruction.
It is protection!
4. An empath can be tough when they have to!
An empath is understanding for a long time.
They can apologize for a long time.
They hold their space for the longest time.
But when their boundaries are crossed…
when they are hurt on the deepest level…
when they feel disrespected or manipulated…
their reaction is not sweet!
It is surgically precise!
An empath can walk away without a word.
And that is one of their darkest powers.
5. An empath’s darkness is their intuition
An empath’s intuition is not just light.
It is also:
- a warning
- an unpleasant feeling
- a chill in the back
- a signal “something is wrong here”
It is the ability to see the shadow before it manifests itself.
6. An Empath's Darkness Protects His Light An empath is not just subtle. He is also profound.
And the depth always contains a shadow!
Its darkness is not evil!
It is the raw truth!
It is the part that says:
“You end here.”
“You will never hurt me here again.”
“You will not pass here again because I will not let you go.”
And it is thanks to this darkness that the Empath can shine so brightly!
Reality?
The Empath is not a fairy!
The Empath is a being of light and shadow.
Gentle when she can!
Unyielding when she must!
For the Empath, the path of balance between light and shadow within oneself is important!
