Yesterday I met a new colleague of mine and I though they looked funny, and maybe like a hippy and not very nice, she had lots of piercings in her face and in her ear cartilage… but then I realised that I was judging them, so I tried to forget about it and just get to know them. I think that open minded people are much nicer than people who judge others. When I was talking with this colleague I noticed my head was itchy so I scratched my scalp, and it felt better. It’s funny how we do this when we are thinking… I wonder why!!
