the pursuit
If you’re like me, you probably don’t struggle to meet new people, no matter the setting. If you’re like me, it’s probably very very easy for people to feel like they know you, but if you’re like me, it’s probably just that you’re easy to be around, not so much that you’re known. And this is not a brag, just an observation that it’s a gift to have the kind of personality that others feel at ease around, and it’s an even bigger blessing to have a character that can sustain having relationships in varying depths with a wide variety of people. This is a tremendous blessing, and I have the instability of my upbringing to thank for the gift of being a relationally versatile person.
