We feel everything. The sadness in someone's voice. The tension in a room. The pain that others try to hide. We absorb emotions like sponges, taking on the weight of other people's struggles as if they were our own.
They call it a gift.

But what if being lost isn't the opposite of being found? What if it's part of the process?
