When someone tells you they’re in pain, LISTEN.

Don’t tell them why they shouldn’t feel that way. Don’t point out that other people have it worse or tell them they should be grateful for things they do have. Don’t assume that they are overreacting simply because you haven’t experienced what they have.

If someone tells you they’re in pain, listen. Believe them. Support them.

Sam didn’t have a mom? Excuse me,

Let’s not ferget the parenting skills he displayed with a baby, we can only assume he honed those from when he took care of Sam:

fyp-psychology

Empathy isn’t just something that happens to us—a meteor shower of synapses firing across the brain—it’s also a choice we make: to pay attention, to extend ourselves. It’s made of exertion, that dowdier cousin of impulse. Sometimes we care for another because we know we should, or because it’s asked for, but this doesn’t make our caring hollow. The act of choosing simply means we’ve committed ourselves to a set of behaviors greater than the sum of our individual inclinations: I will listen to his sadness, even when I’m deep in my own. To say “going through the motions”—this isn’t reduction so much as acknowledgment of the effort—the labor, the motions, the dance—of getting inside another person’s state of heart or mind. This confession of effort chafes against the notion that empathy should always arise unbidden, that genuine means the same thing as unwilled, that intentionality is the enemy of love. But I believe in intention and I believe in work. I believe in waking up in the middle of the night and packing our bags and leaving our worst selves for our better ones.

There is a strong wall about me to protect me: It is built of the words you have said to me. There are swords about me to keep me safe: They are the kisses of your lips. Before me goes a shield to guard me from harm: It is the shadow of your arms between me and danger. All the wishes of my mind know your name, And the white desires of my heart They are acquainted with you. The cry of my body for completeness, That is a cry to you. My blood beats out your name to me, unceasing, pitiless Your name, your name.

Love Song, Mary Carolyn Davies (late 19th/early 20th century)

be kind to yourself too

Hiya guys. I'm kind of lost (scratch that, I'm really lost) somewhere in the depths of a writer's block. And I can't seem to get out (I'm like Alice, stuck in a metaphorical rabbit hole. yelp.) My heart bleeds (don't worry, also metaphorical) for abandoning my simple man series and all the other plans on here. So please, help me out. send me pictures, gifs, ideas and lots and lots of requests. If I can't find my way back up the rabbit hole, I at least wanna find the little door into the garden for the tea party! I'm also shamelessly tagging @deansdirtylittlesecretsblog @deanscolette @deanwritings @talesmaniac89 @torn-and-frayed @ilostmyshoe-79 @waywardmoeyy @kittenofdoomage @teamfreewill-imagine @nichelle-my-belle & @thing-you-do-with-that-thing as you are such good writers (and came to my mind just now) and I really need some guidance. Do you have any ideas, how to overcome this? :( cheers!
