Jenn 😍😌😉…I loved what you shared, thanks for trusting me with that anecdote.
So let me share something with you. My hubby is a go-getter, to the point where it can be annoying. Why? See that example you gave: he would have been in that landlords office by day 3.
He’s the introvert, I’m the extrovert.
I hate to bother people.
His philosophy: “I will not be ignored.”
He’s taught me after many years of marriage: Nat, speak up and go ask.
I’ve learned and omg so many things have come my way. It’s not my nature.
I’m like you: let’s not rock the boat or disturb.

You know what I used to think: if they see me here waiting patiently, kindly, they’ll REWARD me for my good behavior.

To th pe contrary…I got taken advantage of. I blended in and they were happy to have the quiet bystander.

Speaking up meant getting noticed and yes, it’s a risk. But you’ll not get things in life.

You’re mom is right Jenn: WhatsApp him EVERY 6 hours. 😉🥳🤩

….just food for thought! Takes practice btw…when you first start, it’s awkward, uncomfortable. But as I always do: I don’t have to change my manner, my personality…but action and persistence: keys.
