In this past year, I've begun to explore the possibility that I am empathic.  I cannot stand it, sometimes... feeling deeply what others feel.  What's worse is trying to sift out my own emotions from those of others.  It's murderously exhausting, sometimes and I'm often frustrated by what I'm experiencing.  What's harder is not having anyone to tell this stuff to, for at times even other Pagans are skeptical of what I tell them.  I hope, among all my other hopes for 2008, that I'm able to figure out this gift.

 Happy New Year, brothers and sisters!
