How do I know what it’s like for anyone else?
I have no clue how others feel when thunder shakes their walls.
What advice can I hear but mine
Yes, others talk but what are they really saying?
We pour our heart into open palms
But non of us know how to keep another alive
Trials test my own abilities, its too heavy a load to carry another
How can I know how rain feels upon others skin?
Damp days are welcomed after summer but cursed during the frost.
Is this the case for you?
I’ll never know
Crumbs in my belly button 
Well put! I’ve always wondered how other people see me…differently than I see myself?

Me too! Plus how quick we are to think we know how others are feeling… we can only see the world through our perceptions. It’s not always so easy to remember that my reality is very different to others :).

Exactly! We are capable of empathy/sympathy if we have adequate emotional intelligence, but we shouldn’t try to guess why their upset, as they’re complex beings with complex issues, but rather just let them know we are there for them if they need us. 🙂

Absolutely. Empathy is such a gift, to feel so deeply ourselves that we can understand how deeply others feel too, just not projecting our solutions into their problems. Our journeys are unique 🙂
