Bets on potential. Always. Sometimes before the potential knows.
Everyone else picks the proven option; you pick the one with the look in their eye. The Eye has tracked this through your whole life: the new hire you mentored before anyone learned their name, the friend's half-formed idea you treated like a finished company, the quiet kid you put in the spotlight on a hunch. When you're in charge, your roster decisions confuse people — until two years later, when your weird bet is everyone's favorite player and you say nothing, loudly. The Eye sees the mechanism underneath: you remember exactly what it felt like to be unproven, to need just one person who'd treat your possibility like a fact. Someone either was that person for you, or painfully wasn't — and you've been settling that account ever since. Your blind spot is documented: potential can become a romance, and you've held on to projects long after the evidence filed for separation. But the people you believed in early? They never, ever forget you. You're in more origin stories than you know.
