Our ability to empathize and see ourselves in others — people, nature, films, books — makes us human. This kindness is put into words by 1 Lunn and 2 Dougherty, ⁠ ⁠ 1 “When you stumble on something you didn’t know that somebody else felt too, you think, oh my gosh, I’m not the only one. That is falling in love – it’s the self recognized in someone else. A union of souls.” ― Natasha Lunn⁠ ⁠ 2 "Why bother? Because right now there is someone out there with a wound in the exact shape of your words.” ― Jean Thomas Dougherty⁠ ⁠ ° @mir._art
