But never both
I can't feel sympathy for a person I love. Empathy, sorrow, those kind of things yes. Sympathy- to me- means sharing the feelings but nothing more. I don't do that. When I love you, I love you totally. Bad, good, whatever. Carley's total inability to close a door? No problem. Dad taking over half my life to open up emotionally? No big deal. Mom going through her adolescence when she's in her fifties? I'm there. Sean's obsession with Linux? I can deal. But these are not things that I just sit idly by and have sympathy for the person. To me, sympathy is just that- idle. I'm not sympathetic. If you have time to mourn something, feel bad about something, whine, complain, whatever... you have time to do something about it. When somebody I love loses somebody, I grieve with them. People need to open up more and FEEL the world they are in- not just nod their heads in agreement and say "I know how you feel." Bullshit you do. If you "know how she feels" then you'd be crying to.
Carley graduates in 2 days. WOOT.
Countdown to me getting a sugar mama...
