Being at ASU for psych lab intro and half asleep looking at their sources of light I am inclined to ask 'how does this make you feel?'

One of the quirks that I have is the uncanny ability to notice the small details in the environment that I live (strictly city) to give me insight into my plans. For example, when I go to coffee shops (there are only 3 I go to on a regular basis), I do a quick scan of the parking lot looking for my friends autos to see if they might possibly be inside. Call me weird but it happens instinctively for me.

Another small detail I notice on a regular basis in regards to automobiles is that of the origins of peoples' license plates. Doesn't matter if I'm driving to school or am sitting as a passenger in a friends' car, I will always take note of where people have come from. For me, such references to distant locations stir up thoughts ranging from impersonal ones (wanting to travel there or thinking "that's a nice place") to very personal ones (to be brutally honest, of places or times or people that I do not want to come to mind). With a heavy heart I wish this wasn't so because it becomes all to easy to resent memories associated with said reminders. It is not my intentions to think both highly or negatively about the reflections brought about by subtle reminders in the details, but to look back with an eye of gratitude. Such recollections in reality with my thoughts removed are truly joyful moments of life lived with certain people in certain places at certain times. Unfortunately, I have issues removing my thoughts and emotions from past events. Oh that I would see the beauty of recollections and reflections on past memories, and value the lessons learned.

If there was one thing I wish I could be better at, it would be to notice the subtle and small details that abound within social interactions so as to better attend to peoples' needs.
