Looking For Meaning In Everything

I feel as though I just keep writing. I have a new story almost every week. I just can't help but continue asking the questions that come to mind. (and there are a lot of those).

For Thanksgiving my family and I went to visit relatives. While we were there I logged on to check out any new stories and when I went to log on I found that my uncle has an account on here. This in itself wouldn't be much except for the fact that I have realized my mom, aunt, brother, and cousins all have sort of a emathic touch to them. I realized this when I was hanging out with my little cousin and my uncle.

We were at the skate center when two boys collided. They fell hard and one didn't get up. He was in tears and holding his arm. (I could tell it was broken because I felt something and I usually only feel people I know.) The boy was helped up and taken of the skating floor. My little cousin was so shaken by what had happened. She insisted that we go make sure the boy was ok, and even after we did she couldn't stop going over to where he was. It came to my attention that my brother was this same way too. Does this means it runs in my family?

Today, my friend brought something else to my attention. He is like a brother to me and lately our connection has grown. He has slight dream seeing abilities. It has gotten to the point where I can feel his pain, and I am pretty sure I feel his girlfriends headaches too. We were talking today and he was saying that he takes my sadness away. I told him not to do this, that he didn't need to feel what I feel and he said something that got me thinking. He said "maybe that's my purpose." I started thinking, what if he is right? I've read so many comments saying you can't help others when you are depressed or overwhelmed. Is it possible that we are connected so that he can keep me calm in order to help those around me? Or am I simply looking for meaning in something meaningless?

Please comment. Good or bad I would love to here it. Thank you so much.
