I'm known for my optimism; people usually see me smile and laugh and it brings encouragement to their lives. I have patience more than the average and I can maintain friendships for a long time however what people tend to undermine is that it my patience doesn't equate to invincibility, it matters how I'm treated and if I'm tried too hard I can let a friend go. I get angry, I experience disappointment and I have times when I want to give up on people, sometimes on myself from the frustration people give me. I'm learning to be patient with people as I myself don't always get everything right and I too need patience. I'm learning on deeper levels that patience is a virtue and forgiveness opens the door to great possibilities.
