Today's challenge was to see a situation through another person's viewpoint. Tonight, I had a date and I knew I would be getting back late to my apartment. I got a text from my roommate, in which he asked when I'd be back at the apartment. I wondered why he asked that, and when I arrived at about 12:15am I asked him. He said he wanted to see me arrive and ask how my date went.
Why would he do that? I realize it was because he cares, because he sees me as a good friend and wanted to hear an update on my adventures. Noticing this viewpoint allows me to realize just how much our friendship means to my friend/roommate. The situation was that I was arriving late at our apartment. I was tired. He was eager to hear from me. Two different perspectives.
I am grateful for the different viewpoint my roommate/friend had when I came back to our apartment after midnight.
