You saw them the one who always dressed flashy, the one who never talked, the one who partied too much, the one who was always too serious. It was easy to form opinions. Easy to whisper. But then you sat next to one in a class project. Or stood in line behind another during registration. And they told you a bit of their story their background, their dreams, their struggles. Suddenly, things made sense. You felt small for judging so fast. Because beneath the outfits and habits were humans, all just trying to make it. Some hid their fear behind confidence. Others hid pain behind silence. From then on, you gave people more grace. Including yourself.
