Lately I've had some experiences with people who have very closed minds, mostly when it comes to people and what they care to know. They judge based on appearances and make up their mind that they have that person all figured out.
This happens a lot in Blanding, and I'll admit I'm not always so open minded to some people, but it honestly drives me insane.
They see a girl dressed in all black, tons of piercings, dark make up and assume that she can't possibly be a nice person. They see a boy dressed in boots and maybe a cowboy hat and assume he listens to country only and talks about horses and cows 24/7. Just little harmless things like that but I wish I could still change it. Seeing what a person looks like, people judge if they'll have anything in common or not and whether they care enough to find out. Usually they'll surprise you and you could have lots of things in common, or they could just be an amazing person that changes your life in some small way.
You'll miss out on some really good people because of this. I did, but I'm proud to say I've definitely been more open to different people and I'm happier because of it. I just wish I could make everyone do this, then this world could be a little more open minded. This life would be a tad easier to get through.

Yes I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words very easily but I tried haha...
