Found this little gem of my personal writing in a random file on my computer at some un-Godly hour this morning. I have no recollection of writing it, which is even cooler. I actually enjoyed reading this, rare because I generally loathe my writing.
“The coolest things about me are mostly things that you will probably never know. In the process of judgement and pigeonholing me, either by the way I look, where I work or where I live, you will most likely miss the important things. Like, that I have best friends who are identical twins, or that nearly everyone in my friendship group plays a musical instrument and is a book nerd. You won’t get to know that another best friend has the single most contagious laugh in the world or that I grew up riding horses in a small country town. You won’t know that my favourite time of day is hazy orange sunset or that I don’t ever brush my hair or that I rarely wear shoes and I prefer to dance instead of walk. You will not know that I collect books and postcards and that I want to devote my life to social justice.
The same goes for me. I judge people and slot them into categories just as quickly and efficiently as everyone else. Bit of shame, really what we’re all missing out on.”
