The older I get, the more I realize that one of the most attractive traits is genuine enthusiasm. It's energizing to spend time around people who show real excitement for life. For people, ideas, and tiny moments. It takes courage to care so openly. Enthusiasm is contagious.
Not all hurt people hurt people. Some spend their lives making sure no one else feels what they did. They break cycles, build safe spaces, and turn pain into purpose. Hurt people don't just hurt people, they heal people too.
It’s pretty fucking disgusting that we live in a country where climbing the Empire State Building is a crime but rich people touching little kids isn’t.
