At the age of 12 when my visions became more and more vivid to the point that it was actually stopping me in my tracks, I noticed that I could feel other peoples life energies. For a few weeks I simply ignored it, but then I started enjoying the sensation of others energies.
One day while sitting in class, I had been remembering the horrible morning I had had with my mother. I felt tired and beaten. The boy next to me was laughing and smiling and flirting with the girls around him and I could 'feel' he was energetic and happy. I sighed and wished with all my heart that I could be that happy. After a few moments, I sat up in my chair and a feeling of happiness filled my chest. The poor boy next to me started slouching and his eyes became droopy and he yawned. Then he started coughing. I freaked and wished what ever I had taken from him jumping from my body to his and I slowly felt sad a clenching fill my as he stopped looking like he might puke. When his friends asked him what was wrong he just shrugged and said "i dunno."
After that I experimented with my little "ability" and began to notice if I envisioned it, it was easier to control (even though for a while there I thought I was imagining things) and figure that this wasn't much of a positive power so after that I stopped using it but now it has a tendency of doing it automatically.
I've also noticed I can pass energy through my body from one person to another, or trade energies with someone else. Once I even gave a friend some of my energy. But all in all its not much of a nice gift... And I'm still not completely sure if I'm sane...
