Sharing Sentiments

proverbs 14:10

suffering and celebrating alone. naturally its like that and true empathy appears incredibly rare. once a blue moon maybe theyll understand exactly. even words arent always enough. and maybe thats just something i have to prepare myself for more readily. and in my own daily living, maybe i just need to make greater efforts to empathize--since i would wish for others to do the same.  and in the same way that the heart knows its own bitterness (seemingly insinuating that it fails to recognize others'), no one else can share in the heart's joy. for me, ive found that this is most true in that i can repeat a story which captured my own heart and i can do so a million times but itll never be the same and no one will ever... _truly_ see why im so ecstatic, it seems.

but honestly, sharing my joys and sorrows with God seems like the way to go. he always gets it and is ready to listen, never too busy for me at all. if nothing else, i learned this and in the next day ill be working on genuine interest and concern for others and an eagerness to hear whatever it is they have to say.
