Don't Judge A Book By Its Cover

We have all done it.

Whenever we look at someone, your brain studies how the person looks. You probably think of about their hair, their clothes, taking in how they look. 

A massive pet peeve of mine is judging how someone looks before you even get to know them. 

A couple of years ago, I was riding my motor scooter around my neighborhood minding my own business when a boy rides up on his bike and says something so cruel that made me want to scream. "Hey Down syndrome!" He taunted me and I stopped my scooter in its tracks and looked at him. 

"I do not have Down syndrome, it's Moebius!" I point out even though I knew he wasn't caring whatever I had to say about the cruel introduction. 

"That must explain why you talk so weird!" He said before riding away on his bike, never to be seen again. 

To this moment I still remember how I felt when that happened.

Before you go and be rude to someone, think about how you would feel if someone said that to you. What you say or do to hurt someone can stay with them forever.

Think before you say.

Think before you act.

Think before you type really.

Also making many points in one blog post because why not?

Be thankful for what you have. You are the compass of your life. You control where your life takes you.

Remember who has been by your side and don't take them for granted.

Something I find hard to accept is I can't make everyone happy. At times I find myself holding in my breath with my thoughts and not exhaling them out. I hate having conflict with people so I find myself wanting to keep it peachy.

Advice from today's blog: 1. Don't judge a book by its cover, no matter how cheesy it sounds.
2. People can forgive but they won't forget.
3. You have to put your happiness before others at times.
4. You have a voice, USE IT.
