it hurts.
it literally HURTS.
right here inside this body.
in the place where the breath comes down that moves the blood.
IT LITERALLY PHYSICALLY HURTS
to have someone tell you that they can "talk to anybody"
and pose as though they are listening to you
and act as though they want to know what you have to say....
and with the very same breathe
tell you that "nobody can change their mind"....
and tell you that they don't judge
and then set about delineating the sins of the world -
and halt themselves long enough to tell you that
they "don't know what you do or think" -
then immediately return to telling you what they know you do
and how you think.....
and you keep letting it happen.
