In the words of Debbie Reynolds, 'being normal is vastly overrated.' And let's face it, life right now feels anything but normal. Big emotions leave you feeling drained like you just ran a marathon. You are highly sensitive to the energies around you, leaving you to carry burdens that aren't necessarily your own.
