I saw an ambulance drive by my house today.
Sirens blaring, lights flashing leaving me momentarily stunned.
And that's not just because of the flashing lights, it's because I just hope that whatever happened, everyone's alright.
Later I saw two cars involved in an accident.
There wasn't much damage, and no one seemed to be covered in any sticky red substance.
And even though I was far away and I didn't know these people at all.
I had to look away.
Because just looking in that direction for a few seconds felt like I had momentarily forgotten how to breath.
So much feeling hit me at once.
And I could not decipher any of them, except for one.
The one that I was sure that was mine.
The worry.
The worry that someone got hurt.
The worry for people I don't even know.
The worry for people that I can somehow feel while standing hundreds of feet away.
Because for what ever reason I can't ever pass by with glazed over eyes and a cold smile.
I feel their emotions as much as I feel my own.
