In the past month, I’ve met three different women, all about my age, who really...shined. This has been a time in my life where meeting new people is par for the course; most of them are forgotten as soon as they walk away, and I’m sure it works the other way around as well. But the ladies I remember are different in my mind; something about them struck a chord with me, and I just find it interesting how, in a sea of people, so few are truly memorable. Two of these women I’m unlikely to ever run into again, yet I know I won’t forget the impact they each had during the short time I was around them.
None of them did or said anything that was really all that special; none of them went out of their way to speak to me; none of them were extraordinary in any way upon first glance.
What sticks in my mind about each of them though, is how expressive their eyes were.
Does that sound weird? I feel like that’s weird.
But it’s always been little things like that that make me remember people. Sometimes a person stands out to me because they rarely smile, or because their laugh is contagious, or because of the way they move. Just small things that they don’t do on purpose, that are just a part of who they are, but that make them...memorable.
What type of things make a person really stand out above the crowd for you? It can be anything, big or small, from appearance to personality to actions or words. What makes you remember a particular person more than anyone else?
