Any other empaths up in here? As an empath, your superpower is your kindness and compassion...but it can also be your kyrptonite if not kept in check. When others take advantage of your open heart, it can truly suck the life out of you. Sometimes it feels like you’re giving all of your sunshine away from a bucket—and the bottom of the bucket is a massive hole, so it’s just POURING out uncontrollably.
