I'm one of those English girls who knows the difference between the words. Sympathize means you have my sympathy and support but I've never been there myself. Empathizing means I actually truly understand on that level because I've been there.
And I haven't.
Thank God, the gods, the world, mother nature or whatever that I aven't.
I can fall asleep on a dime. And dance circles on it even.
When I go off to bed each night I do it with a smile. I never have a problem falling asleep. I can do it in a car. On a plane. Comfortably on a friend's couch I had never been on before. In a meeting even (shhh! don't tell my boss!). Or in the subway, the bus, the cab. Name it: I can fall asleep anywhere.
Sleep does not elude me. She's actually my friend.
Because I wake up from her with a smile on my face.
--------------------
So I actually crawl into my big comfy bed every night knowing that I will A) fall asleep in about 10 minutes tops and B) have a free movie waiting for me.
Because my dreams are movies. I may not remember them when the alarm clock goes off.
Guess I'm lucky in that. Thinking about it? I'm surprised I ever get out of bed.
