People tell me I'm observant a lot. They say I'm detail oriented.
But I don't think I am.
People are very clear.
They will tell you everything they have to say without even meaning to.
It's not always their words. Be careful with what you hear them say. Words cannot be trusted.

The way the square their shoulders.
The way they lift their feet when they walk.
It's not all about the shininess of their eyes as they hold back tears.
It's the set of their lips and depth of their breathing.
So I'm always shocked when people don't notice when something happens.
Or don't realize how someone's feeling. It's always so jarring to think that they just don't see it.
