Something's Up Critical Moment Analysis
Summary of the Something’s Up critical moment
I was spending the day with one of my best friends. We went to the mall, sat in a café and went to the movies afterwards. I hadn’t seen her in quite a long time and enjoyed the day with her. We talked about all the things that we missed out on in each other’s lives since we last saw each other.

This situation confirms my vision because I respected her, listened to her different fears and hopes, was mindful of her feelings as well as of my own, I tolerated her telling me her ex-boyfriend-break-up-story for the billionth time (this is not how I defined tolerant in my vision but it also a form of tolerance…) and I was open-minded to her suggestions about my next steps and about how I could encounter my own fears and
