empathy v. sympathy
I'm soon attending a party that's essentially a high school reunion: a group of people with whom I worked 12-13 years ago. This got me reading old emails. One in particular left me dumbstruck. I wrote this to Jenn, nine years ago to the day.
"I'm so sorry. I cannot imagine anything more painful than someone you love demonstrating in such appalling detail how little regard they have for you."
Yep. My imagination still fails me here. Epically.
