“I get it. You're alone. Hurt. Betrayed. Your heart is broken. You're broken. The whole world is crumbling around you. You can never seem to do even the simplest things right. You can't see why. Why you? Why him? Why her? Why now? Why ever? And I'm not going to comfort you. Because the future isn't what hurts. The here and now is what hurts. So I just wanted to say, I'm sorry. I'm sorry your world is falling apart. I'm sorry that you've been broken. I'm sorry that you've forgotten how to stand back up. And even though I'm a stranger, I'm here for you. Feeling your pain. Commiserating. So just know, even though this kills, you're not alone.”
