day twenty one

hey,

i probably owe this to more than one person, but to you especially. im sorry i judged you on first impression. im not trying to make it sound better by saying almost everyone does it too, because i have a better excuse. the first time i saw you, you were on stage, debating, as a 3rd speaker. you were furious, witty, eloquent, a bit scary and would probably kill me with the mic stand if i were your opponent.

off the stage, you were completely different. you were actually a really nice person. like i said, everyone judge a book by its cover. but in my defence, i would say that i'd still give that book another chance, and keep flipping the pages and really make up my mind about it later. what im trying to say is that, whatever first impression i have, its dynamic, not static. it changes with time, with how much i get to know a person. and i wouldn't say i've finished reading those books, but i think i've found a few great friends hidden between the many pages.

yours sincerely,
benjamin

Awwwwwwwwww. :) Considering how you used to have allergies to books, I'm quite happy that you're giving them second chances. :D
