when you guys don’t know each other that well, or maybe have only met between one and five times.
It shows them you’re awake, alert and oriented, and know who they are! Then maybe they’ll ask for your name if they forgot it too.

my favorite thing to do is say "hi, _name_" to my students when they walk into my discussion section! they always seem a little surprised, and it reminded me that that personal connection/moment of being known matters. want to make a point of doing it in everyday life to friends too 🩷

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.

I‘m actively happier since I recognized some time ago that I could make ordinary engagements somewhat special, most of the time much more fun, by asking for the persons name.
It’s not for everyone, but it’s also not an ~extroverted~ habit either. I’ve hardcore belly laughed on customer service phone calls, and secured standing tables at some of my favorite waterholes, for this low-lift practice. I think it encourages strangers to be themselves.
*If you are the kinda person who wants go the extra mile, try making a stoic bouncer smile. The high of accomplishing this feat is unbelievable.**

These are my favorite food (only slight hyperbole).
I recommend, in no order:
-Kettle brand
-Kettle brand air fried
-7/11
-Lay's Kettle Cooked
These chips are so strong that they will burn your tongue. They are chemical perfection that make the systems in my body dance. They are so rock and roll. No matter what size the bag, I will probably finish the bag.
I always eat the folded ones first, and then move to the unfolded ones.

If you’re within an hour walk from home, you should just walk home.
I understand taking public transit or an Uber there to be on time, but you’re not rushing to get home. Thus, walk.
