It's so easy to write off someone, especially when we're not close to knowing them. It's easy to see the person's bad side. I met this girl at camp, and I was told she was prideful and that I shouldn't be close to her. At first, I thought it was true - the girl seemed proud. But I said to myself, 'Let me try and see.' And to my surprise, the girl was different from the explanation I got from those girls.

That has taught me a good lesson - that just like we have bad sides, we have good sides too. Sometimes seeing people from afar makes us judgmental until we come closer to really knowing who they are and realize that they are just imperfect people, just like we are. So everyone has a good side too. And this is a reason to love them even when we have seen their bad side. And when you know people you will know that we are all innocent people that need to choose good over bad.ey
