people around me have a habit of confiding in me. coworkers, classmates, sometimes random strangers. I guess I because I'm always self-deprecating and have a trustworthy face. I've heard crazy shit over the years.

oh hey, same
there was this one time i was just hanging around my apartment lobby, and this junkie came and told me his life story - guy expected me to be like all judgey and shit, i told him not to worry, gave him a few words of affirmation, he hugged me, and dude just ups and leaves
when that shit happens to you, do you take it to heart or do you just let it "in one ear, out the other"?

if i ever meet someone like you irl, i'd just stare at them till they fess up
then act like i'm annoyed when they eventually spill the beans

I take it to heart. I'm hopelessly empathetic. a friend of a friend once was telling me how his brother got killed and broke down crying. I cried with him and sat there til he was alright.

we're both like lanterns in a dark cave - folks come to us seeking comfort and we assure them that together we can find the way out
sometimes its hard and the lantern flickers, sometimes it's extinguished entirely - but for us both, we have to be prepared for it so thats why we carry a box of matches
