Tú.
Open-Minded I love when the primary objective is to understand first. Instead of solely arguing your point, the goal is to understand the perspective of the other. Honest I love when no matter the circumstance, being truthful is a priority. I’m 1000% more likely to understand an ugly truth, than to appreciate a lie told…
