making an effort to remember someone’s name upon first meeting says a lot about one’s 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 won’t 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 human’s name seems like the least we can do to help sustain connection and humanity.
