Dear Diary,
Today, a new girl showed up at school. I noticed her sitting alone at a lunch table, and I decided to tell my friends that I was going to talk to her. One of my friends joined me, which made me feel a bit better. To be honest, I was really nervous before approaching her because she looked mean. But once we started talking, I realized that she was actually really nice. At first, I thought she didn’t like us, but slowly she started to open up.
She’s three years older than me and my friend, but we got along right away. We were soon joking and laughing together. She was genuinely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and to my surprise, she complimented me! She said I was the cutest person and even praised my makeup. Being complimented by a baddie makes me feel honored honestlyyy.
While talking, I learned an important lesson. She explained that the reason she hadn’t made any friends so far at school or at her old school was because of how she looks. She mentioned that people often judge her based on her appearance and assume she's unfriendly. It really hurt her, but she tried to brush it off. She made a great point that rather than judging someone by their looks, people should take the time to get to know them personally.
After she left, I reflected on what she said and turned to my friend, realizing she was absolutely right. We often judge others on appearances, favoring those who look friendly or "nice," but we mostly end up making the wrong assumptions. This experience has definitely changed the way I view people, and I hope it inspires others to think the same way. So remember, no matter how intimidating someone might seem at first, getting to know them might reveal something different.
