How did you process this? She asked me.

And I told her I have volcanoes in my heart and most of the time they are manageable, but sometimes they are not.

Maybe I have a soft spot for men who are broken, or maybe just people that are broken. That respect is a thing that everyone deserves, and that me granting that respect does not mean I have done anything particularly great. It just means that I did the basic thing, and it breaks my heart. I have a hard time with patients that have been disrespected and it so hurts my heart for them.
