You’re going to meet thousands of people in your lifetime.

Some will leave a mark. Others will pass through like shadows.

Some will like you instantly. Others never will—no matter how kind, sincere, or impressive you are.

In fact, they say that around 7% of people you meet will just never connect with you. And that’s okay.

What matters is this: some of your greatest connections are still out there, just waiting for that first smile, that moment of shared humanity, that spark of understanding.

So be kind.
Be open.
Make the effort to be the kind of friend you hope to find.

And when you do…

Be amazed at who shows up.
