i keep thinking about this man i met a while ago, a few months back. he was talking about something that happened in his life, some sort of personal tragedy, but then finished the story by saying "but listen kid, nobody cares. the earlier you learn that the better off you are. no one cares the shit that happens to you or to me."
he's wrong. i can't live that way, allowing myself to believe that we are totally alone with our burdens and heart aches. little islands of sorrow bumping against each other making our separate ways through life.
on the other hand, i am having a hard time trusting anything or anyone. but i know, even still, that i have people i love who truly love me, and that it will be ok. there is a plan and a future and room to flourish. that has to be the truth.

I don't know much Kate but I know that this fellow is wrong. People absolutely care about you and about others. We may not always understand how to demonstrate that compassion to each other, we may fear the pain or difficulty, but that absolutely does not mean that people don't care.
