Traits of an Empath 28

28. Will not choose to buy antiques, vintage or second-hand: Anything that’s been pre-owned carries the energy of the previous owner. An empath will even prefer to have a brand new car or house (if they are in the financial situation to do so) with no residual energy.

I'm divided here.

I LOVE antiques, vintage and second hand!  I love scouring antique stores!  I'd love auctions but, I know I couldn't contain myself!  I love poking around the second hand stores for little treasures.  I believe all things carry energy and we have to sort out the things (energy) that just feel right.

I prefer a brand new car.  I don't trust people so, I wouldn't trust anyone to divulge all the information when selling me a car.  I feel a little safer knowing that everything is new and I'm not worrying when or what someone else's mistake is going to cost me.  I have 36,000 miles of security!

I also believe in finding the right energy in a vechicle.  When we bought my new one just a few months ago, we also tried out the almost identical model in blue, and I didn't like it.  I just didn't feel comfortable in that car.  It was brand new - no one else owned it but, I knew it wasn't the right car for me.

My mom (again with my mom) always told me to trust my gut.  Trust my instincts.  Back when I was in high school, she was looking for a different car.  We tried out 2 vehicles, same year, same style, one red, one blue.  She and I got into the red car, and before she'd even started it, I was sick to my stomach.  I hated that car!  We drove it for a bit and I just felt worse.  She asked me what I thought, and she said, "nevermind - you are so green, are you okay?"

I managed a "Don't buy this car!" and got out of it as fast as I could.

We took the blue car for a test run once my normal color returned, and I was immediately at ease.  Relaxed.  Felt great.

She bought the blue car. 

I did eventually ask her why she didn't buy the red car.  I don't remember her exact words but, she said she didn't feel right about it either but, there was no way she could buy a car that made me sick just sitting in it.
