em·pa·thy

Direct identification with, understanding of, and vicarious experience of another person's situation, feelings, and motives.

understanding and entering into another's feelings.

empathy. for some reason, i've got a lot of that, unapparent as it seems. like the time my neighbour died, i didnt really feel sad about the tragedy itself, i was too busy thinking all sorts of thoughts like "what's her 3 kids gonna do?" and deciphering their thoughts and emotions.. and occasionally some big situation comes up and i get dragged into it, there's this whole surge of emotions that suddenly come over me and all in that moment, i share the emotions of whoever may be feeling it, no matter how distant he/she is and no matter whether i actually know the guy or not.

i'm currently alone at home. on a normal day, it would be perfect. but not today. my dad and bro's taking my mum to the hospital. all of a sudden i'm clouded by worry and to be honest, i'm a bit scared. i know that God's watching over all of us and He has everything in control, but i just need some reassurance.
