trusting in the system

This is Alex. We met for one day last season and it didn't take me long to not like him; something pretty rare for me. I didn't like him so much so that 9 months, 7 countries and countless new people later I remembered his name the moment I saw him. 


But I believe in giving people the space for them to show me parts of themselves I am yet to see. This means putting what I have decided about them to the side and seeing what they are currently showing me. Often it looks like I am a push over but its a system works for me. 


9 months, 7 countries, and a little bit of time together later and lucky me because I have got to see that Alex is awesome. And now I am stoked to be +1 awesome friend; my reward for letting the past go and believing in the good in people. A reward that is worth its weight in gold. Thanks for being Awesome Alex!


Incidentally if I was worth as much as per kilo as this piece of cheese I saw today I would be worth $2400!
