RE: The Other Grindan

I think we all have different versions of ourselves, some we love, some we hate, and some we yearn to just spend a little time with every now and then before we creep back to being the us that we are now. I think both of you sound like people I would very much enjoy meeting in person. And you look gorgeous in your photos btw🤗

One thing that stood out for me was the following two words:

detrimental empathy

I love this about you. I can relate... and for me, I can understand why you might call it detrimental... because you get to experience the intensity of the lows of others and it can consume your heart... and your focus... and use up all your tears. But I wouldn't want it any other way for myself. I experience the highs with those closest to me and I experience the lows. I have cried bucketloads alongside and for others. I find ways to relate and connect. I don't necessarily experience their experiences as my own, but I experience their pain alongside them and I hurt deeply for and with them. I can't avoid it. It's who I am. It makes me feel connected and it makes me feel human.

Great post, Grindan.

I hope in the end that you are living the best possible life with the you that you are, and there is nothing wrong with taking a few days here and there to enjoy the delights of other Grindan's life either. 💗
