Mulheres abandonadas. Desde sempre, a literatura é permeada de histórias trágicas de figuras fascinantes, como Medeia e Dido, que se desfazem diante do abandono masculino. Emma Bovary e Anna Kariênina, personagens inesquecíveis, também sucumbem.

No século xxi, Elena Ferrante atualiza a tradição, criando personagens que definham ou enlouquecem depois de dispensadas — é o caso de Olga, em Dias de abandono, que se vê confrontada com novas questões: Como pode uma mulher padecer "de amor" nos anos 2000?

Being an empath is when you are influenced by other people's energies and have an innate ability to intuitively feel and perceive others. Your life is unconsciously influenced by the desires, thoughts, moods, and even pain of others. Being an empath is much more than being highly sensitive and is not just limited to emotions or physical pain. Empaths can also perceive the motivations and intentions of the people around them. Being an empath, you are always open, so to speak, to elaborate the feelings and energy of other people.

Empaths are naturally wired up to feel stronger connections to people in our lives and our environments. However, due to dysfunctional programming and society at large, we lose touch with our empathic gifts and instead go through life struggling and getting bogged down by others' energy. Empaths take on negative energy which is dumped onto them that they don't desire or need and are clueless about how to protect one's energy. Our energy has been controlling us for many years. Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the reality of who we are at our deepest core and initiate healing.
