People
This is a series of short blog posts about people who’ve impacted my life in some way. These will mostly focus on one-off encounters with strangers, but there may be a few about friends.
I think it’s important to take some time now and again to reflect on the people who make us who we are. We’re all just a collection of experiences, so let’s pay those experiences the respect they deserve.
