Just a little glimpse into my origin story.
Here’s the thing. The person I bought the soap for, the person who so embarrassed me, is also one of the nicest people I have ever met.
That’s something we need to keep in mind when we are talking to others, especially if someone has done something to “offend” you. It’s always best to meet people where they are and try to understand where they are coming from, whether you’re the one gifting toxic hand soap, or the one getting it.
I sometimes wonder to this day who I may have done this to without thinking about it. Who is my Emily? Who have I looked at and commented something along the lines of “that’s actually so toxic…” — assuming that we were on the same page when we actually weren’t?
The most important thing is to assume the best in people, be quick to forgive, and know that most people aren’t out to tear you down. And if they are, well, they are probably sad, unhappy people, and they need our love all the more.
