Whenever I socialize with people, I tend to be guided by the first impressions that I have of them. I tend to behave according to what I perceive of that person so as to avoid clashes and conflicts. And if that person behaved according to what I predicted based on the first impressions that I had, I never forget those things, and treat the person in that consistent manner.

Several days ago, I managed to reconnect to a person in my past and yes, as my prelude suggested, I already had a concrete way/approach on how to socialize with that person. In fact, I've been avoiding that person for almost a year now.

However, in these last few days, I was able to discover that my first impression was wrong and that I was completely wrong for having image/perception of that person. I was glad that I at least took the time to see beyond what that person has been projecting towards me for so many years.

I wish I could tell more, but I really don't want to get ahead of myself. I just hope that what we started these past couple of days would continue, and who knows, something really good might come out of it.

Hoping to write more in the next couple of days,
