there are all sorts of people out there.
what do you see?
judging by my cover, lets see maybe you see that:
-i have brown hair, that is neatly done, which maybe you can conclued that i'm very organized and put together, not true.
-i have my nails are done, which may make you think that girly? which in fact again isn't entirely true,
-i'm outside. i like the outdoors? yes that one is right.
so we're 1 for 3....
But then i have the think about what all your missing about this picture and this day. I had the brilliant idea to get pictures made for mom on mothers day one year. Nikki Taylor took this. Tyler was watching because he got into some pictures with me.
Then there is this picture. What would you make out of this one? A few more things? That i'm fun, loving, outgoing, silly, not-so serious? This is a little more "spot on" but I can't go around in my everyday life jumping up and down, skipping around and sticking my tongue out at people -- because then people would just judge me as crazy.
I've said all of that to say this, you never know who or what you're dealing with. You need to take the time to realize the true person someone really is on the inside. Being a 19 year old female has proved to me through the years that TEENAGE GIRLS are the world's worst at saying "i don't like her" when in fact we've never layed eyes one that person in our lives. We'll be so certain that we wouldn't like a certain person because of who they hang out with, the things they've done in the past, how they look on the outside. In reality it normally has more to do with something like....
"well one time i was at a ball game and this blonde girl brushed arms with me and didn't say excuse me, then i went to the concession stands and the woman that gave me my pickle smiled and said thank you, come to find out that the concession stand lady was the blonde girls aunt, and well that girl over there is some way related to them, so i'm sure they're all fake and hypocrites in that family so we're not supposed to like her either just to be safe"
This is SERIOUSLY the way girls work most of the time. In reality the blonde girl that brushed up against you probably wasn't even her, it may have been her purse, therefore she didn't know she was supposed to say sorry. The lady at the concession stand more than likely really meant that smile and thank you that she threw your way... and the other girl you're judging because of conclusions you've jumped too could potentially be your future best friend but... TOO BAD - you missed out.
It ridiculous how judgemental we are. How in today's time we have to watch out for ourselves because it seems that everyone else is doing just that. I've been guilty of it all. Guilty of being too judgemental, guilty of being too selfish. At some point we just have to find that happy medium. That what I'm currently looking for. I've been the brat that probably shunned a really nice girl sometime because of a friend that she hung out with. I've also had to deal with people taking advantage of me... i went from being borderline mean, to wayy too nice.
Where am I at? :
I'm still probably too nice, but I know what it feels like to be the target of someones mean judgement. So I try my best, and that's really all that I can do. I like random acts of kindness. But I know that I have to watch my back...
Kudos to you tho, if you've found your happy medium :)
