Empathy

The more I experience this world, the more I appreciate the value of empathy. We never know what someone is going through and how our words and actions (especially kind, compassionate ones) can deeply affect a person. And in the end, we all go through the same things, feel the same things. Sometimes together, sometimes alone.

Some situations can be new, difficult, and complex. It can be hard to understand what we’re going through ourselves and to grasp the magnitude of our own emotions.

On those occasions, all it can take is to really care, listen, and be there for someone else to truly understand our own heartbreak.
