I don’t think anyone can truly say they haven’t wished to be different, I know I have many times, just to be born on a different day would be top of my list - being a Gemini is hard work, all that indecision! But to actually wish to be someone else? I don’t think I have ever wanted that wholly, just certain parts of me…

Feeling others pain, physically less so but emotionally… talk to my husband! It is the cause of many a late meal in this house… I simply cannot leave anyone in distress, be they animal or human if they they need help, love, care, whatever, I’m there.

And I’m not sure I can answer the last question… Empathy makes me feel connected, that’s all.

Ben I loved this, my father often used to say to me and my two sisters, ‘be careful what you wish for’ it took me years to understand why!
