(i should stop writing stuff between brackets now)
hey guys!
how are you all?
good i hope
i'm good too, wanna know why? WANNA KNOW WHY?????????? ok i'll tell you why sweethearts, its because i finished finals today! frankly finals don't upset me that much (except a couple of days ago when i broke down at a friend's house, lol that was epic, i literally broke down into tears as i was punching numbers into the calculator)
today what i wanna talk about are first impressions! and how they shape our lives a LOT more than we think.
raise your hand if you had a negative first impression on someone. you guys won't know this because you're not seeing me while i type this but i took a moment and raised my hand before i continued to type lol. anyway. we all do it, we're all victims of it and we're all victimized by it, we can't help but love someone or hate them regardless of whether we actually know them or not.
now
idk how people see me. none of us know how people see us, so its not like we can control it, we cant control others' thoughts, and the thing is what if we're right? like what if we hate on someone and we're actually right to do it? we'll feel empowered, smart and highly intelligent.
but stop now..
what if you're wrong? what if this person you're hating on passionately is actually a nice person? what if they deserve a chance? what if they deserve a hello when you see them passing down the hall?
back when i was in school i sensed that some girls didn't like me, and you know when you're in high school your self-esteem is already down the drain so all you would ever need sometimes is just a smile, that smile would indicate many things .. approval, validation, fulfillment because when you think so little of yourself, it is others' opinions that can lift you up
so now imagine that you're that person who holds it in their power to lift someone up and upbring their spirit, would you really walk away from that just because of an unjustified possibly false first impression thats based on no rationality whatsoever?
think about that everytime you hate on someone!
until next time
