I Know Exactly How You Feel

I know exactly how you feel.
Wow! Really?
Yes. It happened to me.
Everything that has ever happened to me has happened to you?
Yes.
Wow!
Did your front teeth get knocked out?
They came out.
By your stepfather?
No, but I know how it feels.
I know exactly how YOU feel.
Wow!

Rhona Mcferran September 30, 2018 at 7:36 PM Hahaha! Oh wow, great message- (and sincerest apologies if I have ever said that to you)! It is an awful assumption to think because we have things in common that it effects us all in the same exact way. Well penned! Caren Krutsinger September 30, 2018 at 9:46 PM You have never said or done anything but be kind to me, my friend, so you will never have to apologize.

M. L. Kiser September 30, 2018 at 1:59 PM Uniquely charming piece. Caren Krutsinger September 30, 2018 at 4:21 PM I always get irritated when I hear them say it.

Line Gauthier September 30, 2018 at 9:16 AM LOL now there's a message. Love it, Caren. Caren Krutsinger September 30, 2018 at 4:21 PM Thank you Line. You fully "get" it too.

Kim Rodrigues September 30, 2018 at 6:23 AM Good one! We must stop and listen and not always interject with I know how you feel” because we don’t! Caren Krutsinger September 30, 2018 at 4:22 PM Kim, you too do understand. Good!
