‘What’s your best quality?’ ‘I’d say it’s a toss up between my ability to be an #empathetic listener & my odd sense of humor.’ ‘Ok. What’s the worst thing I should know about you?’ ‘Probably my police record.’ ‘You have a police record?’ ‘Yeah, I like their music.’ #vss365
Empathy we're wired to feel, in our very guts another's pain so much so we can lose ourselves in the agony of it so it might not be true to say: you can't know because we do #vss365
After the waxing was done, a faint sheen caught the morning light, a soft glow rising from the floor like something breathed back to life. Her work had been empathetic, steady, almost ceremonial. it was her way of insisting that the world could still be made gentle in small, human ways. #vss365

Smoke billowed for miles and we watched gobsmacked as childhood memories disappeared in an afternoon the boardwalk is a magical place as are the sea and the sand but the #wax museum was a place for freaks like us to gather witnessing the obscure and grotesque just what we teens wanted to see #vss365
Julie stares at her own reflection with an #empathetic mildness she has long denied herself. She removes the pins along the lace front. With one movement, she lifts the synthetic hair away from her scalp, exposing her natural hair. She won't wear the wig today. #vss365
Her soul is a steel bucket She holds it steady as the masses fill it with their woes Her #empathetic nature is magnetic Strangers are drawn to her to unburden themselves of their pain The bucket becomes too heavy Sadness overflows She cannot hold it any longer Tears spill An angel weeps #vss365

there are ravens in her hair again and her pockets brim with stones she’s got starlight in her attic and there’s m o s s upon her bones
If I had a magic #broom I could avoid the morning hassle of getting in and out of public transports I would look cinematic and moody flying high in the sky I would welcome the witch tag #vss365 #bionicanadian
