A long time ago, people connected because they talked to each other and interacted to one another. Families spent time tightening bonds and kids spent more time outdoors, doing kid stuff and making new friends. We had print, and soon the radio, but we had each other. It could only get better. And then things changed, and we had little mobile devices that were supposed to make life easier — yes, supposed to because while they made communication less challenging for us, things got a little bit more complicated.

You must really love this place if you want to return so badly. Or perhaps you just want to spend some more special time with Doctor Sababa, our internal medical consultant at Harbour City Regional Hospital.

Tal vez haz empezado a sentir que, de alguna manera, los sentimientos de estrés, ansiedad o depresión que no son tuyos se están filtrando en tu vida a través de la exposición a los demás. En otras palabras, ¡sospechas que eres un empático! Las personas altamente sensibles no sólo pueden detectar, sino también sentir las emociones de las personas que les rodean, y esto a menudo les deja indefensos y vulnerables a experiencias emocionales duras y no deseadas, e incluso peligrosas, si no saben cómo defenderse de ellas.

Au couvent de la Mansuétude, on forme des jeunes filles à devenir des tueuses.
