Reflection

As I was sitting on the bench, sipping my Starbucks chai tea, I paid much more attention to the people and things surrounding me. I looked more closely at their appearance, their facial expressions and the way they spoke to each other. I realized that I am terrible at reading lips but that I am pretty observant to begin with. I’ve been observant ever since I was little, and completing this exercise helped me notice even more than I normally do. I always look at appearance first and try to figure out where they came from/what they’re doing/where they’re going. It is fun to make a game out of it and make it into its own little story.
