I am working on keeping the words internal and actions less impulsive when I am having a petty stranger judgment moment. I struggle in the metaphorical bedroom, personal space, happening in real time moments when words spill out and impulsive actions take over.

I didn't have to get out of my car and push that shopping cart to the return spot moments after the man who just finished using the cart left it in his adjacent parking spot, but I did. I also don't regret it. Circling back to why I lack success keeping the words internal and actions less impulsive.

Why do you write what you write, why do I put shopping carts away? Why did my kiddo speak up when a teacher was berating the new student?

I won't disagree, petty stranger judgment moments can be self righteous. Socrates said, the unexamined life is not worth living? I say make life worth living, one self righteous impulsive moment at a time.

If everyone could just be kinder online and in real life! I just went out to breakfast with my parents. They are a lot so I only see them once a year. Anyways, my dad held up his coffee cup and said, “can get more coffee” there was no “please or thank you” when I pointed it out to him, he said “his mouth was full”🤦‍♀️ he then proceeded to tell me that he tips based on service and has even left a 1 cent tip before. I couldn’t believe it. I explained to him that may w the server is new, having a bad day, there could be a myriad of things but I always give them the benefit of the doubt and tip 20% no matter what. Being a sever is a hard job! People seem to be very entitled and only think about themselves!

I would always pick you first for my volleyball team, always. If I had your number I'd text you every single day, always positive, always filled with love and feelings. You make me have feelings, some I haven't felt for some time. I like it. Thank you Bailey.
