Individual Impact

Every single person has a unique story to tell. One thing that I am really enjoying about this class is the opportunity that I have to get to learn about people in the varying stages of life. Throughout my life I have always had a large variety of people that were invested in me. Some of the best memories I have were made while having insightful conversations. I love to talk, and anyone that knows me is able to vouch for that. My love for a good conversation has brought me many lovely chats, and even some incredibly transparent ones. I love hearing about people and their stories. I believe that every person is alive for a reason, and that something can be learned from everyone. While it is not so easy to say that about the horrible people in this world, but even they have an impact on people. I have seen the worst situations turned into something beautiful because of the heart of the impacted. Since every person has a different story there should always be something to talk about. So you know that awkward silence on a date? Shouldn't be a thing. There are so many things to hear about that if the conversation dies, you just aren't asking the correct questions. Asking good questions is almost harder then answering them. That being said it is important to remember to respond in a way that is conducive to conversation. Turning the conversation to your interests the entire time is also not a good thing to do. The whole point of having conversations is to be able to communicate your opinions and ideas as well as learn something about the other person. Conversations are not an easy thing to keep going, but once they are mastered and the focus is put on the other person, you just have to let yourself listen to their story.
