Fridays with David

Today is Friday, so that means that I am the only person in the office who stays  from 9am until 5pm. David was here though, from 9-1. He's pretty cool. He's from Mexico and has a boyfriend named Ryan. David is absolutely one of the nicest people I know. He's super smart, and good at making flyers and he sings. I haven't heard him sing but he wants to be an opera singer so I assume he's good. Today we were talking about relationships and people. I was telling him how I think it's important that a person be always trying to improve themselves. Not just on the outside but on the inside as well. I think that is very important, never settle for where you are but continue to reach for higher goals. Also we talked about judging others. Recently a co-worker of mine called someone a female dog. I don't like to swear so it's not in my vocabulary but also I don't think any person knows a person well enough to call that person any time of name. You may call someone kind, or caring, maybe inconsiderate but never label them. People act different in all sorts of environments and with different people. I don't think it was right for him to call a woman that and I really don't think others should do the same. Not because I'm also a woman but I wouldn't do that to a man either. I don't know what the male equivalent is for a female dog but from my experience dealing with the opposite sex, men are super confusing and I will not be first in line to suggest I'm an expert and know all there is to know about them. I would never judge someone. Of course, I'm not perfect and may assume someone has a certain personality but I usually try to cut that line of thought as soon as possible. I love being proved wrong. My closest/best friends are girls that I at first I did not like because I assumed they'd be a certain way. I just wish some people would be more open minded. Would look at how they can serve and help others before judging and casting off people as some label. I want to look for the good in all people and things. This world is already messed up, our thoughts don't have to also reflect that ugliness. Be the change you want to see in to world. Much love, K
