Can't Judge a Book By Its Cover

I've only been here at BYU-I for a week and already I can just see myself growing more into the person I want to be. I mean, I've already changed my major which was something I NEVER thought I would do but completely feel that it is the right thing to do. But also, there is this cute guy that I've been talking to and he is such a sweetheart! Shy guy but he still manages to make me laugh and smile :) But...this guy has a past. And to be completely honest...it was definitely a red flag to me at first and I was a little hesitant about the whole thing. But once I got to talk to him and he told me some stuff...I was really proud of myself in a way for just allowing myself to give him chance. Because, who am I to tell a guy he is not good enough for me? Who am I to judge a guy for the things he has done? Am I a perfect person? NO! Not even close. I don't seem to really care about the person he was in past...I only care about the person he is today. I'm not trying to say I'm a horrible person but I'm kind of shocked on the way I've been handling this. I do have my expectations but at the same time...people have expectations on me as well and it's only fair to give every single person a chance because you never know...I may one day be in a situation where I'm hoping someone would give me a chance.

"When I was five years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life." - Unknown
