@balfour44 Thank goodness, I grew up in a small rural area so my school was pretty calm, but I never felt like I fit in. Like you I just wanted to stay home. I always thought it strange that if I was hanging out with a particular person, that person would invariably remark that I was so different than they had thought. It happened so often that I just accepted it, but now understand that I was just a mirror so that in a one on one situation they could relate to me. Do you do energy healing? I became certified in Reiki, but discovered I prefer to work in the energy field as opposed to placing my hands on the body as in Reiki. I have always had psychic dreams of events that would happen, then over the past years that developed into dreams that would direct me to deliver a message or do a healing for a certain person, over the past year I have begun to have waking visits from spirits that have passed and want me to deliver messages. This has been very intimidating for me to deal with. This journey has certainly not been boring!
