1. WE’RE OPEN WITH OUR EMOTIONS.
It’s nearly impossible for us to hide our feelings. We
feel deeply and we wear our hearts on our sleeves. The good
news is that it’s not a guessing game with us, but you have to be
able to handle it all. We won’t hold back. If we’re mad or excited,
be sure you’ll get the full scope of it. This sort of vulnerability
is endearing to others who value connecting on a heartfelt
level.

2. OUR BS METERS ARE STRONG, SO HONESTY IS
EVERYTHING. Empathy is the ability to tune into another person’s
feelings and experience. We have out-of-this-world capabilities for
empathy. This means we can also tell when you’re being dishonest
from a mile away, and we won’t put up with it. We’ll be honest
with you, and we expect the same in return.

4. GUT INSTINCTS AND INTUITION ARE
EVERYTHING. It doesn’t matter if a partner looks great on paper.
They could be gorgeous, intelligent, ambitious, and kind, but if we
have an unsettled feeling in our guts, we’re unwilling to stick
around. Our guts have proven us right in too many instances for us
to ignore them. We sense emotional unavailability and other
circumstances that won’t be healthy. If we’re in a balanced place
ourselves, we’ll always walk away from people who don’t feel
right.

5. WE’RE DEEPLY FAMILIAR WITH
HEARTBREAK. Our hearts break over and over again on a regular
basis. Feeling life deeply is a blessing and a curse. Being highly
sensitive means that we feel the heartbreak of a friend, a tragedy
across the globe as if it happened to our family, and the bite of
the cold that a homeless person is facing. Don’t mistake our
familiarity with a tender heart for weakness, though — it just
means that if you break our hearts, we’ve experienced it many times
before, and will come out stronger.

6. CONSIDER YOURSELF SPECIAL BECAUSE OUR
LOVE IS HIGHLY SOUGHT AFTER.  We are beams of light who also happen to often be
conventionally physically attractive. We’re deeply socially and
intellectually intelligent. Did I mention we’re beams of light? We
have undeniable auras. It’s hard to miss us, and for these reasons,
we’re attractive to a variety of people. Not to toot our own horns,
but we have plenty of options in dating. So if we’ve chosen to be
with you, there must be something special about you.

7. WE’RE UNWILLING TO SETTLE.
We may have many suitors, but we’re very discerning.
Since we’re so sensitive, we only welcome those with nice
energy, people we can be ourselves around. As highly sensitive
people, it’s physically, emotionally, and spiritually painful to
settle for anyone less than a great match. We know too much about
ourselves and are too tuned in to others around us
to compromise.

8. COMMUNICATION, COMMUNICATION, AND MORE
COMMUNICATION IS OUR M.O.  It’s human for brains to go a mile a minute, but
empaths have especially busy minds. There’s a lot going on up
there, and we need to let it out as regularly as possible. Aside
from selfish reasons, we also need regular communication to confirm
our instincts and ensure the other person is on the same page as
us. You’ll seldom be left in the dark about what’s going on with an
empathic partner; they’ll be way ahead in the communication
game.

9. INTENSE LOVE IS A NORM.
We feel everything more intensely than your average
person, so the sort of love that awakens all the cells in your
body is the norm for us. It has such intensity that it slows down
time, makes you feel like a million bucks, and reminds you what’s
important in life. I’m talking about THAT kind of
love. I’m not saying it lasts forever, especially in long-term
relationships, but you’re almost sure to experience it if we fall
in love with you.

10. INTENSITY IS OUR COMFORT ZONE —
ESPECIALLY IN THE SHEETS. If empaths sound like magical creatures, it’s because
we are in some ways. Being so connected to the world around us
means we are incredibly alive between the sheets. We’re likely to
be sexually experienced and hyper-concerned about ensuring you’re
taken care of. We care about connection and being taken care of
too, though, so don’t leave us hanging.

11. THERE’S A CHANCE WE’LL BOLT. SORRY. WE
MIGHT BE BACK?  Empaths are highly charged creatures. Being with people
fills us with life, but sometimes we take on too much of other
people’s baggage and get overwhelmed. Or we misread a situation and
freak out. Whatever the circumstance, there’s a decent chance we’ll
bolt on you. Sorry about that. It’s probably for the good of all.
The good news is that once we’ve cooled off and gained a clear
headspace, we’ll likely be back if the circumstances are right.

12. WE’RE OLD SOULS WITH LIFETIMES OF
EXPERIENCE.  It takes a special person to be deeply honed into the
nuances of the human experience. Gaze into an empaths eyes, and you
can see that we are old souls. Many people who are highly
sensitive have experienced trauma in this life or another. We’ve
grown from those experiences, though, and they’ve connected us to
our fellow beings. We understand deeply what it means to live, and
because of this, we have much to share with you.

13. WE MAY BURN OUT. As highly empathetic people, we aren’t superhuman. If
anything, our marvelous abilities to touch into the world around us
leaves us wildly at risk for crashing and burning. Those of us who
have learned balance have only done so because we’ve experienced
burnout. Be careful not to get into a codependent
relationship with an empath. It may feel mesmerizing at first,
but you’ll lose us one way or another in the end. The best way to
prevent burnout is by using balance and boundaries despite the draw
of our love.

14. EVERY EMPATH IS ON A DIFFERENT PART OF
THEIR OWN KARMIC JOURNEY.  A sentiment that’s true for one highly sensitive person
may be entirely false for another (ex: one individual may be highly
sexual while another is totally closed off). Empaths who haven’t
worked through much of their emotional baggage often struggle with
PTSD, emotional dysregulation, addiction, and instability. This
phase is a natural part of the growth process, but it can be very
difficult to be in a relationship with one of us before we’ve
dealt with our stuff. Find yourself an empath who has worked hard
to come to a stable place with our exhausting relationship to the
emotional world, and you’ll feel as if you’ve struck gold.

Canadian Minister

Hon. Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman/CEO, Nigerians in Diaspora
Commission (NIDCOM) has congratulated Mr Kaycee Madu, a Nigerian
based in Canada, on his appointment as the first black Minister of
Justice and Solicitor General for the government of Alberta.

Madu had proved his mettle which earned him the exalted
position.

“We are so happy for Mr Madu on his well-deserved appointment.
This confirms our saying that our Diasporans are our greatest asset
making us

She advised Madu to continue to give his best in the
administration of justice, urging others to emulate such excellent
behaviour.

The NIDCOM boss said the appointment of Madu as Minister of
Justice was a reward of consistent hard work, dedication and
determination to
succeed in his chosen career irrespective of the fact that he was
in the foreign land.

She prayed for his success in the new global assignment and
canvassed for support and cooperation from all stakeholders to make
him successful
in his assignment.

In this role, Minister Madu, as Minister of Justice will also be
the Provincial Secretary and Keeper of the Great Seal of the

Alberta.

In 2019, Madu made history by becoming the first African-born
provincial Minister in Canadian history.

In 2020, he makes history again as the first Black Justice
Minister and Solicitor General in Canada.

” We are proud of Madu and wish him success in his new role”,
Dabiri added.
