it is so nice to be heard. it is so nice to be understood. the fact that somebody would purposefully take a moment out of their day, a moment they will never get back, to listen to you - that action itself saying "your experiences matter, your joys matter, your sorrows matter, the fact you are here right now is such a wonderful thing", even before the conversation that comes out of it - is the most compassionate of actions. it is love. i feel like I'm overrating this and I fucked my wrist up playing it but. wow. wow.
