whenever i'm having a shitty time, it helps to view it as the price to pay for being able to love others who've had the same type of shitty time. I feel like I'm relieving the loneliness of others in that experience by having that terrible experience myself.

in this i actively want to be exposed to and to experience as much pain as I can fit into my life, because then it stretches me in a way that makes me able to be with others in a greater depth and variety of pain. I don't want to be afraid to face other people in their suffering.

obvs my experience isn't immediately touching other people, but the sense of there being person out there who can understand feels valuable to me, and I enjoy trying to communicate it too.

That's quite a beautiful and nicely explained sentiment. I think of this in terms of people who have already lived and died, too.

Almost every day was a shitty day for me for the past 5 years or so.
It didn't help me love anyone. If anything I am more disgusted about the world and people.
