I'll take empathy over prayers any day, myself.
I'll take prayer; well the thought behind it anyway... to the extent that it expresses empathy or sympathy, but there is no substitute for real, deep, empathy. Sadly and frustratingly it can't go all the way... directly bridging the gulf between two consciousnesses, even if we had exactly the same experiences... but it can still go a long way. To feel heard and understood, or to hear someone say 'I've been there' or 'I am there', is perhaps, in the absence of that direct link, the best and most valuable gift we can give or receive in this life; the gift of feeling like you're not alone, if only indirectly, and the strength you can draw from that, again if only indirectly. It's been a long time since I've felt anything other than alone... a long time since I've had any kind of counselling or a deep and trusted friend who understands everything I'm going through... so I'd almost forgotten what that was like... so thanks for reminding me that it's 'out there'

Absolutely exhausted today. Got no motivation whatsoever.
I hate days like this 
I'll be in Barcelona in 48 hours though and I'll be high off the atmosphere of being there.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

C'mere, girl, I'll rub those feet. Might even hunt up some leftover Mexican.

Just be sure to hide the snakes, okay?

Yum.
Anyway, how am I feeling? I am feeling the absence of a lack of mental negativity which takes the form of a presence of physiological serenity in my chest.
It's quite beatific, tbh.

Pre-edit, your post seemed quintessentially Texan.

Bait? What bait?
I was just talking about snakes.
You know I feel about those things; they give me the willies.
