THE UGLY DULL ROCK. (so not pretty)

You can meet someone and in the first few days of your friendship you can think that this person is a really good person. Someone you can see yourself staying in touch with for a while. But as time goes on and you get to know this person, you find out that they are just terrible! And you realize it now because you've spent enough time around this person to realize that they weren't what you thought they were but exactly the opposite.

For instance, today me and my friend Ray were just sitting on a bench in the park. He got a phone call so for a minute I started to daze off. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw this little sparkly shiny thing. I turned to look at it. From my view it looked like a tiny diamond. It was so beautiful. It seemed to shine brighter then normal against the cold, brown cement table. As stupid as it sounds, it made me feel warm inside considering how freezing it was. Anyways. My reaction was to pick it up and set it down on my phone in front of me so I could get a better look at it and maybe keep it. =] But when I set it down, it was just a rock. A white rock. An ugly, dull, plain, NOT SPARKLY OR BEAUTIFUL, rock.  I was so disappointed! All of a sudden I was cold again. And that UGLY ROCK just sat in front of me. Staring at me. And I kind of felt like the dumb rock tricked me into thinking it was something it wasn't! But it made me really think about something. 

It reminded me that people should never jump to conclusions. Just like the rock, something can seem good but turn out bad. At the time you might think that that was the best choice for you, but when you take the time to look back on it, from a different point of view, you realize it wasn't. After my rock incident I made a mental note to always look at thing from allllll perspectives before making a decision.
