People are sensitive.

All of us.
Just in different ways.

Different things set us off…
Upset us, hurt us, provoke us.
We’re all vulnerable to something.

It’s worth reflecting on what ticks us off and why.
Staying level-headed is ideal, but the truth is—something will eventually hit a nerve.
And while we can’t always control our reaction in the moment, we can control how we respond after.
That’s where accountability and repair happen.
That’s where relationships are mended.

So we have to think twice before irritating someone.
Filters matter.
Sometimes we drop them too much… sometimes we keep them up too high.
We’ll never navigate it perfectly, but we can try to keep things simple, positive, and constructive.

I once heard a great speech by Google’s CEO.
He said life is like a jar of balls:

Career is like a bouncy ball—you’ll always find new work, more work, different work.
Health and family are glass—if they break, they’re never quite the same.

Extremely powerful.
Maybe not every categorization is 100% accurate he mentioned in that speech, but certainly we might know 1 or 2 glass balls we have to honor.

We have to uphold our reputation.
Our relationships with family might be the most important.
Our health is paramount.

Things can be repaired, yes—but “forgive, not forget” is a common phrase for a reason.

Sometimes we want to forget.
Sometimes we should.
But we still need to protect ourselves—while deploying as much kindness as possible.
