New found hope.

To be honest, I always have my doubts in people. I don’t really give anyone the credit they probably deserve upon meeting them. They’re not that cute. They’re not very smart. They look annoying. Am I a cynic and pessimist or just really judgmental? “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover” is something I hear often. But when you get one look at someone, you already make up decisions in your mind.

“Would you smash?”
“Would that person steal your things?”
“Do they look friendly?”

No matter what, your mind automatically reacts to how a person looks; their demeanor, their expressions. And while the internet (and tumblr) is still full of complete imbeciles, I like that tumblr gives me a little more insight into a person.

Besides their stupid little icon on the side of the page, or their unoriginal description of themselves, I can see their writing and thoughts, their diction and vocabulary. I’ve been following more blogs lately, based solely on their writing, and I have to admit, I’ve been impressed by what I have stumbled upon. I see more genuine ideas, creative writing, and “well spoken” people. These people, and their blogs, have given me a little more hope in people.
