so you don’t have to ask it like three months from now, ie you can just say “remind me your name one more time” a few times in the first hour of meeting someone so you can avoid feeling legitimately insane later.

I have a notes section in my phone where I come up with Michael Scott-esque name association and dump everything notable about the person. Great post bar activity. I would be horrified if anybody knew I was out here typing caricatures, but I do get compliments for remembering people’s names months later. Because I cheat...

saying “hey can you remind me your name?”

instead of tiptoeing around it and being weird about not remembering their name. we’re all adults, we meet a bunch of people, we all have different memory capacities, and most people aren’t trying to be a dick when they forget your name. let’s just address it and we can all move on!

ASKING PEOPLE WHAT THEIR NAME IS IF YOU FORGET

it’s easy to forget names, everyone can relate. however, genuinely making an effort to remember someone’s name will not only make them feel good, but you will feel good, too.

re saying your name if youre not sure the person you met once remembers

It’s not a big deal and people usually feel way better if you just do.

Bringing watercolors with you wherever you go

Watercolors come in teeny boxes, and all you need is a brush and some thick paper. You don’t even have to watercolor, just bring the tin around, because if you happen to catch a watercoloring vibe you’ll have them, and if you don’t it’s your way out. Kinda like, I bet you didn’t know I could quit my job right now and go to a park to watercolor instead. Watercolors = I’m in charge of my life. Does this make sense.

Loving something from afar and not needing to change that.

For example, I do not feel so comfortable with birds when they’re nearby. I don’t like how the head moves, and I don’t want it to land on my head, peck my eyes out, etcetera. That said, when I look up at the sky and birds are flying together in a beautiful shape, that could make me cry. So to me, that’s interesting.

If you have a feeling of unease saying it

to the person because it actually will never resolve on its own and I actually think there is a lot of humanity to be found in the surprising amount of grace with which people receive your feelings when you make them known. This is making me feel like I need a newsletter…
