Hello Francie,
Thank you for posting your feelings.. that was very brave and honest and open of you.. x
Can I share something with you? This is quite private and not something I'd have ever posted in public had you not been so open with us, but sometimes I get the overwhelming feeling that feel I literally don't belong here (Earth) and I'm/my soul is meant to be somewhere else, all I can feel is the pain and suffering in this world and I feel so helpless... and I actually get physical sensations, like I'm trapped/stuck here on earth, literally, and can't get off the planet!! I can only describe it a bit like being stuck in a lift! I know at some point I will be freed, but being here can be pretty bl**dy uncomfortable at times!! I know it sounds crazy, but it is real and quite frightening when this happens!
I've always been very sensitive to the pain/feelings of others, even as a small child, and have spent my life being told I'm "too sensitive" (as a put-down) when in fact, I am also repeatedly told (sometimes by those same people) what a "strong person" I am! But you know, our capacity to feel pain is only matched and equalled by our capacity to feel love and true compassion for others. Your heart and soul are wonderful guides and helpers.. even if sometimes they hurt (for yourself or for others). To feel the pain of another is hard, but it is also a gift. Truly. It is a gift and it is precious... and it can be used and/or developed into ways of really healing and helping others, should you wish to.
I'm not sure how you might take this, and I mean well by it, really I do.. try to take some time to really thank God/the Universe/your Angels.. (or whatever's appropriate to your beliefs) for giving you the ability to feel your feelings and being able to connect to your heart and sould so strongly .. it might be hard for you at moments like this (I really do understand how hard!) but please.. keep strong in your vulnerability and sensitivity.. for they are strengths and not a weaknesses and are very much a sign of the health and light in your soul.
I hope that helps in some small way.. please don't be afraid.. your soul sounds in pretty good shape!!
I'm always more concerned when I come across people who DON'T feel for others, or sometimes even for themselves... or people who never cry.. they seem devoid of their heart-connection... now that would be a reason to worry if your soul is detaching and dying!
So Francie, thank you again for sharing your feelings and please, know that this is a GOOD thing you're able to feel this much for people, and make sure when you send out the positive, loving, helpful thoughts to others, that you also ask for some to come back to help you... as there are many people around the world who care and in some ways, all of us need some healing and help at times!
Hope this has been of some help.. sorry if I'm more wordy than useful (!).. . but I wish you light .. and a big protective, healing hug from the universe! x
In fact, I also wish that same hug to EVERYONE, whether in here or anywhere on earth. xxx
