I don't know who this person is. She isn't my neighbor but I think she's the land lord to the house next door.

Nobody will rent that house. It has a sign out front and I've never seen anyone come out to see it. She's a tall blonde lady and she comes out and mows the yard and cleans it up. Shes working her ass off when I see her. But it's obvious nobody lives there and nobody has lived there the entire year since I moved in next door. We've waved to each other a few times.

Today I take my trash out and I hear sobbing. She's on the front porch on her knees just sobbing hysterically like she was breaking. I have this issue where if I see someone crying, I start crying. It's involuntary and i cant stop the tears. So I just stand there starting to cry and I cant decide if I should go over there. I don't know her, I don't know how she would feel if some stranger just walks up to her.

Something told me to go over there so I go and she looks up at me and doesn't say anything. So we just sat there crying together for a minute. I hugged her.

Guys we never spoke. I don't think she could speak, after a while she got up and hugged me again and went into the house so I went back into my house and now I'm here telling you.

Still teared up

That was the most random and kinda strange human interaction I've probably ever had but I felt bad for her. Nobody was there to comfort her. Idk if she lost someone or just having a really fucking BAD day but I don't regret walking over.

I was so hesitant. I started and stopped a few times because she seems a lot older than me and I was afraid if she saw me coming to her she'd be like "what is this infant doing" but no. She fully accepted it even though she didn't know me at all and just leaned into me and cried.

Shes not the first person I've cried with because of my stupid empathy crying. I cried with a friend when her cat died even though I didn't know the cat. She is the first stranger ive cried with though lol
