Things We Forget

I think I am better with time than first impressions.

I sense danger and ask follow up questions, but I wouldn’t say I am a “good” judge of character.

Given my history, I would say no. I have famously befriended people who have treated me badly. This has changed in recent times, and I will try to keep growing…

I notice when words match behavior.

I believe integrity matters more than likability.

I trust respect shown during conflict.

I notice patience during inconvenience.

I watch how people treat animals.

I trust calm responses over dramatic ones.

I pay attention to how people speak about themselves.
