"we'll knock the piss out of you," he said. he smiled, fired up the engine, and sent the boat and my body careening all over the place. i laughed, stopped thinking about what i was trying to do, and just did it. and i didn't get any on him. we were bonded by body fluids. there was little else to connect us. now here's something someone said to me that really does deserve repeating: "your feelings are your own, and they're valid, whatever they might be. it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks you should feel or what they would do in the same situation. they're not you." the point here isn't to believe you're always right about everything. you're not. i'm not. but when you're bothered by something or you have an emotional reaction someone else tries to minimize or dismiss, it's okay to own what you feel. and it's okay to dump a jar of mayonnaise on that person's head, because then you'll both have something to feel bad about. empathy. it's a beautiful thing. caveat_emptor: if your feelings drive you to spit in a stranger's face or burn down a library, the above might not apply. but i think in most cases it's a solid sentiment to keep in your pocket. 210721 ...
