empathize with others and want to feel something through stories of people and their interpersonal issues and situations.

Initially I wasn’t too interested in the story, I chalked it up to cultural differences since I knew this novel was translated from it’s original language, Japanese, but I kept going just because… guess what? I am so glad I did! The second story, husband and wife, I was bawling. Omg do they know how to pull on my heartstrings 🤧 After that, full investment and tears throughout. Less tears than before but still! So wonderful 🥲
