One of the challenges of being an empath is that while the world keeps moving on, you get stalled by a war in a land far away from you. You slow down, you process things differently, you challenge your purpose, motivations and cause. You feel like everyone should just take a break and breathe in the damage such politically motivated invasions will cause. But that’s not going to happen. People are moving on. And I am stuck.

To get unstuck – I run. I mindlessly ran for 45 minutes yesterday and it still didn’t help. I’m stuck. I will be for a few days.

I flawed and I accept it.
