The important thing is always to learn. It doesn't matter what you're reading, what you're doing, as long as you're learning. Life is made up of stories, so always make sure to take stock of everything around you, and anything interesting that happens. It may someday make for a good story. But if it doesn't, it was still a learning experience. So go out, learn, live, and make a story worth telling.
There are many different types, or levels if you prefer, of psychic and supernatural awareness. As anybody could guess, the one end of the spectrum is the dud, the void, the psychically deaf and blind. It’s not to mean that they are better or worse than anybody else (though they do tend to be safer in the long run), but they have no awareness of anything psychic. They don’t see ghosts, get hunches or have amazing intuition from powers. But in return, all supernatural creatures tend to ignore them, thus they are safer from the “bad” beings out there, the ones labeled demon by most churches.
Between the two ends of the spectrum are all the in-betweens, which is an obvious conclusion. These include at least 95% of all those with any power, skill or sensitivity whatsoever.
On the other end of this spectrum is two types of sensitives. There are those who overflow. They bring in energy from all around them, whether naturally or by choice, and are either unable or incapable of carrying around that much power in their current incarnation. These are the types that tend to be gifted as children, able to do much more than most. As for the second type, they are the dampers. Psychic vampires are the most well-known type in this category. They exist to bring this unnecessary energy, and help it be put back to where it belongs, where it needs to go. They are almost like funnels, in a way, but they are still of the most powerful. Simply put, while they may funnel everything through themselves, the residue is more than most people have a chance of seeing their whole lives. Thus, they are at the exact same spot on the spectrum.
