sponge people

It is not always easy being a sponge person.

I can walk anywhere where there are people

and pick up every single emotion.

When I had grown numb to life this had stopped (or I couldn't feel it).

When Jo helped me "wake Up" it brought the sponge thing back.

It freaked me out at first. I was totally getting sick being in large groups of people.

It was like sponge person over load. LOL.

I have had to retrain myself to accept the feelings of people but to not "wear" it (as Debby says).

Now, I see it as a gift. It is a gift of empathy. If I feel it is getting to me, I have to take a step back.

It is okay to feel everything. It is such a gift to be able to understand others.

Everything requires balance, but balance is good.

Thanks for reading!!!!!!
Any other sponge people out there?
