I, myself hard of hearing and know sign language.

A few days ago and I walked into my work 10 minutes early as I always do. The girl herself is 18 years old and found out that I'm part deaf.

She asked me to teach her sign language and I taught her a few. And then the question she asked me

"What did you do today?"

Me: I went out hiking all day.

Her: It's boring!

Me: Would you rather have friends with all that drama or go out hiking in a peaceful environment?

Her response "Drama" with a happy face.

Go your own way.
