It made perfect sense. It's something that I believe in myself. Just looking at the various people that I've been attractive to. There have just been too many people in my life who I never thought of them as anything when I met them or just a friend. But being around long enough and time passes and well...things happen. Your comment honestly made me think of a coworker who wanted me at random (?) to judge his strengths and weaknesses as a coworker. I found it odd given the circumstances, but I've always have had great observational skills and have trained several people in various jobs so I feel that I am good at pointing such things out. For him...I felt he is very personable with the guests...even when other coworkers or even myself might find him slow...and that can go a loooong way to people having a good experience and wanting to come back. His weakness is his lack of self-awareness. In this case, a LOT of information is thrown his way and his memory is not the best. I personally suspect its due to outside factors (from again observations of him alone, him and his relationship with his mother who I work with, loose bits of info+ public interaction), but I've had given him strong tips as best I can so he could grow in that department. But horse, water, drink. :) But that's me speaking professionally. Personally...I have a crush. I'm too professional to pursue such a thing, but I am self-aware to pick up on it within myself. But a lot of the qualities you mentioned above is what I've noticed in him as I got to know him. I also notice he has such low self-esteem about it and found it maddeningly. Cuz if he didn't have that, I feel he could go far professionally and personally. I got the impression before we both did major schedule changes that the feeling might have been mutual because he would ramble on about things that made no sense...as if he was trying to say something without actually saying something. Which took me aback. If I had time...which I never do at work...I would love to sit down and just...talk. And he loves to talk. But I just feel that is a boundary I should not cross. And while I see a lot of good qualities in my coworker, I also feel there's still a long of growing up and learning about yourself there to do. I'm still growing, but I would be perhaps too far ahead in my own self-development. It probably why I love that Scott resonated with his vulnerability with Kip even though he was soooo scared to voice how he felt and did it anyway. But to be fair, I've done that before, too. Okay now I'm rambling. Like others, I loved what you said.
Awww those most definitely were the days. I liked Claire Labine then, but I feel that if I was to sit down and watch her now I would just love her. All I have are my memories of that time (Luke and Laura came back and it became Must See for my mother so I slowly started to follow along; OLTL became my favorite ABC soap). As for William Bell, just a masterclass to me. People talk slow it, but he always had layers going on with his characters which was something I noticed and liked even when I was young.
Amen.
