A long time ago I was in public with a friend and we saw a stranger completely flip out on some other stranger. My friend said something along the lines of 'you don't know how his day has gone... maybe his dog died this morning'. It always stuck with me - and I wasn't even a dog owner at the time (I could cry any second of the day thinking of the fact my dog will some day die haha). People have entire lives going on that you know nothing about, so I always try to give everyone some slack.
Thank you so much for being here and sharing this insight with us, Jane! That compassion you hold is what the world truly needs. And so true about the love we have for our pets!!
I really like your substack title- are you a Gilbert fan?!
