coffee is an excuse for great conversation.

is it a latte or a cappucino?

Has anyone ever called you by the wrong name? The first couple of times it is somewhat funny but repeatedly being called by someone else's name starts to get old really really fast. For me it is like someone not even acknowledging my own existence. I am proud of being different than everyone. I thrive on being unique so when someone can't remember that I am myself and not someone else it really bothers me after repeatedly telling them that I am not that other person. We had a team meeting today about out mission trip to Toronto's homeless this summer. We read a poem that named certain homeless people by their actual names. A point that was made was that when we don't know someone they are just another homeless person but once we know their name it is like it gives them an existence. It kinda brought the point home to me in that if someone can't make my existence priority enough in their life to remember my name then I really should not concern myself with them.
