Thinking about a conversation I was having with an acquaintance years ago. He was a friend of a friend and we were talking about food. I forget the exact phrasing but I brought up loving avocados. He said “what’s that?” I was a bit surprised and explained. He responded “OH thats crazy I thought that was one of those made up words”. The statement was like a flashbang I had to contemplate for a few minutes. PERSONAL STORIES ONLY, DO NOT INCLUDE A STATEMENT FROM A CELEBRITY OR POLITICIAN.
a couple weeks ago my partner said something to the effect that i’ve always improved since she’s known me. it surprised and really touched me and i couldn’t help but cry a bit every time i thought about it for days afterward. i don’t usually think very highly of myself, and that just really cut me to the core (in a good way).
I said something similar to my wife just a few days ago. She amazes me every day. I may not know you, but your clearly partner sees you like I see my wife, and I am so damn proud of her. I’m proud of you, too.
Nice to see a positive surprise in the thread.
Thats positive, I like it! You’re doing well!
