You hear it said over and over. And people still do it. Is it a bad thing? Or is there a balance we can find that allows us to live the life we strive for, as well as live harmoniously with those we pass by.
I desire things to look beautiful. I enjoy looking at how people build, organize, and decorate their lives... as long as it fits my criteria of beauty. And while I don't think I'm necessarily wrong being slightly selective with my home or personal appearance, I think I needed to relearn that not everyone looks, thinks, or acts like me.
We met some people on our travels. And when I first met them, I didn't like them very much. I didn't see them as "wholesome," and it bothered me that Brandon kept connecting with them.
It's been a week now, and I realize how wrong I was. They have been incredibly friendly and generous to us. They have been helping us with our truck problems. Offering us rides, food, and companionship. We have been able to talk about a multitude of topics that are interesting over the nightly fire. And since we are hopefully on our way soon, I realized tonight that I would reach out to them if we come back to the area.
So you see, my snap judgements aren't always correct. And it's humbling to relearn that. 😊
