I have always believed that defining something puts limitations on it, and yet I find myself trying to define my soul in an effort to understand who I am. When will I learn? I try and try, but perhaps that’s the problem, I’m trying too hard.
I am nothing but me, and whatever that entails is incredible. I may be unprecedented, but that doesn’t make me wrong, that doesn’t make me weak, that makes me awesome. Everything I’ve gone through to get to this point was shit, but I survived. I learned how to live and find love within myself. It’s about damn time I stop questioning myself. I am what I am and I do not want to change that for anything.
Honesty:
My self-doubt is crippling me. I know this and fall back on it often. I have got to get out of this cycle.
I have no faith in myself. In the same vein as self-doubt but far worse. Everything I know is true I convince myself is impossible, that somehow I cannot exist as I am told I am.
I fear the inability to protect those I love from harm.
I do not know if I’m holding myself back, or if i’m simply not impressive at all.
I never give myself credit. I surprise myself when I’m right so play it off as if it’s a one-off, not to be repeated.
I need to stop treating myself this way. It’s simply not fair. I’m incredible, and there are truths that can coexist no matter how seemingly contradictory they are. I’ve acknowledged my fears and that I am holding myself back. Now I can work on letting go.
It is truly something to remember Heaven…
Behold, all ye that kindle a fire, that compass yourself about with sparks: walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks that ye have kindled. This shall ye have of mine hand; ye shall lay down in sorrow.

Some people have neurological quirks that give them extraordinary perceptual powers. What can we learn from them?
-
Ordinary people with superior perceptual skills walk among us, absorbing information from the everyday world which is debarred to the rest of us. We can’t spot them, but they can pick up the faintest traces of smell or taste. They might see coloured auras that correspond to the expressed emotions of others. Some of them can even experience the pain or pleasure felt by other people. As one of these unlikely ‘superhumans’, Mary, a 53-year-old therapist, explains: ‘If I see pain inflicted, I feel pain myself. If I see gentleness in a touch of a hand, I get pleasure from the softness and love I can feel in that touch.’ In neurological circles, Mary is known as a mirror-touch synaesthete. She literally feels what other people feel.
Psychological research I’ve conducted with colleagues at University College London and the University of Sussex indicates that one to two people out of a hundred experience mirror-touch sensations from childhood. We’ve noticed that, for such people, observing pain evokes the most intense experience. One of the mirror-touch synaesthetes we’ve worked with, whom I’ll call Alan, has to work hard to reassure himself that he’s not actually experiencing the things he feels. ‘When I see someone being touched, I have to consciously remind myself that I am not being touched myself,’ he says. ‘When I see pain, it’s the same, except the feeling is more intense; it draws my attention more [and] makes me think, “Oh, I am watching pain and it is not there.”’

I’m so intuitive sometimes it scares the shit out of me.

Thank you all for following me. I really truly appreciate it. tumblr never notifies me of new followers so I’m very sorry I haven’t acknowledged you personally. I love you all for putting up with my madness and maybe one day we’ll all get something out of it.
