You never know

Today, I learnt that first impressions are rarely accurate.

For example, today I made a new friend. He started working at my store a couple weeks ago and we decided to hang out today. My first impression of him was that he was nice, into sports and maybe not the smartest guy. I figured that most of the day's conversation would revolve around sports.

And I was right about that, for about the first hour.

You know when you first make friends with someone and you try to make conversation with them but it's kind of hard to because you guys don't know each other? Well that's kind of what it was like.

After a bit of time we got a really good deep conversation going, not something i expected to happen. I was pleasantly surprised.

Everybody makes first impressions. It's human nature. My point is that we shouldn't place too much importance upon those first impressions. Can we really judge a person from one encounter?

So here something that I'd like you all to do atleast once before the summer comes to an end. Don't judge someone on a first impression. If you meet someone and think their weird, or stupid or just not someone that you think you could be friends with, give them a second chance. Hang out with them or talk to them. Just find a way to get to know them. It may work out, or it may not.

I guess... you never know.
