I often felt like I was very far away and different from others.  It was not something that I could explain, but I could feel and understand emotions of others at an extreme level.  I was able to sense spirits around me and at times I had a huge fear of my own thoughts.  It was unexplainable.  I began to block this as it made life easier to manage.

​

At a very young age,  I met a boy and my life moved into fast forward.  I spent most of my twenties checking off my “to do” list.  I completely lost feeling with myself and did the things I thought I should to fit into the society norms.  I received my degree,  got a “good job with pension”, purchased a home, was married and had two boys.   In a blink of an eye a decade was gone and I was lost.
