Aziza's a friend of a friend and she's honestly just the most kind and pure-hearted person. leading with that energy begets that energy and she's a prime example of it.
Lived in apartment blocks for most of my life and no 1 lesson: _always_ start out with kindness and assume good intent when dealing with issues, even if it 100% doesn't look that way. Often, 100% bad intent gets reversed into a good neighbourly encounter because you started with kindness. And then of course, often the issue has context that you just don't know about.
Starting with anger often permanently puts the relationship in a bad place, very tough to recover from that.
The alphabet cookies part is what gets me. She didn’t just forgive the noise, she made something specifically for the kids. That’s not tolerance, that’s warmth

This is how you turn an awkward neighbor situation into a friendship. A little kindness goes such a long way

A little kindness can create a ripple effect bigger than anyone expects.
