making an effort to remember someoneโs name upon first meeting says a lot about oneโs character & interpersonal skills !
(it often makes the other person feel good & Seen ~)
it seems insignificant, but meeting new people and remembering their names is truly so special.
if we have the privilege to grow old, this will be something we wonโt get to experience as often, due to less interactions with strangers & a declining memory.
in a day & age with so much noise and thoughts and distractions, remembering another humanโs name seems like the least we can do to help sustain connection and humanity.
