what you see isn't what you get: it's so much more

         Do you remember when you were little and people would actually ask "wanna be my best friend?" Then that was that, you were automatically friends. You didn't care what they were wearing or if they had family problems or what their hair looked like, they were nice to you and you were nice to them and that's what mattered. Then you "grew up" and stepped into the ever-so-judgemental world of middle school, and everything changed. About 90 % of people's views were altered, and a best friend couldn't just be someone who was nice to you, it just wasn't sufficient. It was almost as if you had to meet a criteria to even be accepted. Where am i going with this? Well, the other day I got a text that was forwarded to me and it entailed a description of one of my best friends saying "she's some bleach blond with a big chest...". Neither of those attributes seem awful, but if you were to know the situation then I can almost guarantee it would offend you just as much as it did me. They made her out to be the stereotypical dumb blond consequently they failed to see who she really is. There's so much more to my best friend than meets the eye. She has the capability to make people laugh and she listens to you even when everything your saying doesn't make sense or she's heard it a thousand times before. I would be lying if I said I've never judged someone based on their looks, but then I tell myself that they to are a child of God, therefore they're my brother or sister. Just something to think about the next time you have something rude to say about someone.
