There are people in my life who are crushed because of one thing: they are able to feel true empathy for me becase I showed that for them once and they really needed someone to do it. So I’m going to show up for those people if I can when I have the capacity to do so. Because I was hurt badly too by these people, but you were hurt worse and you expected me to fight for you. You know I know what happened to you now. You were always trying to tell me. It’s going to be okay. Please understand that. Your empathy and your guilt are the first step on the path to redemption and you will be redeemed. At some point that will happen.
