PUSH

  Welcome to The Narcissistic Empath. A text to blog account of one person’s journey in conquering the art of balance. I, like many people, am a culmination of many qualities. The collaborative works of all I have been taught, as well as what I have learned from my journey. In many cases these are conflicting images, causing me to recreate myself time and time again. The two most dominating qualities I possess are the Narcissistic, and the Empathic. My Empath, well she sits on my left. My Narcissistic quality he sits on my right. Then of course there is me, the refereeing mortal directly in between. I of course hold the microphone (mostly because I am the only one with opposing thumbs).

  I have entertained the idea to have a creative space like this for years, but talked myself out of it for too long. The Empathic quality thought it all felt so right. The Narcissistic quality thought making this happen would be a breeze. The person in the middle, however, struggles with closing down a lap top correctly, has never seen a blog, and suffers painfully with proper punctuation. Yet here we are on the page I created, protected, and hosted. You are reading the first words of The Narcissistic Empath, because I PUSHED. I PUSHED through the uncertainty, the knowledge deficit, and all the positively bullet proof excuses I created as to why I should not do this. I PUSHED through the walls that would otherwise have kept me stagnant and wordless. 

  It is quit fulfilling to stand upon this platform (finally). I hope that this structure grows stronger and more crowded as we begin our new adventure together. I admit this was not easy for me to do , however, it does feel so right.
