I think the biggest blessing/curse that has been placed on my head by the universe is that I am empathetic. I feel the pleasure of others, and it makes me happy. The reverse is also true, in that when I hear someone having a hard time with life, it makes me sad... almost like its happening to me. Over the past few weeks, I have experienced too much of the latter, and not so much of the former from friends and family spanning across economic, social, and political leanings.
I hope for those who are finding this time in their lives a struggle can still find the strength to persevere. Personally, I am doing quite well and am very happy. Things are not perfect in my life, but I am still happy because I still feel empowered to change those things that need changing and to enhance those things that are going swimmingly well.
Now only if I could stop getting sick every time I eat ice cream... then life would be that much closer to perfect.
