so quick to jump.

i was sitting in class today and i made a very astute observation. people are very quick to jump to conclusions. what happens afterwards is dependent of the person that jumped to the conclusion. Today in class a good friend of mine had to do his bookshare. it's an activity when someone gets in front of the class and reads somethihng that someone wrote. Now, today my friend chose to read a poem of his that you wrote entitled "I Wrote This for You". As soon as he read the title of the poem to them different things occured. one person blurted out it about so and so. once that person said it someone else said "i thought that, but i didn't say it". others just said "awwwww", assuming it was a love poem. I, having read the poem already, knew what it was about, so i thought to myself "you all are wrong and should feel a little remorse for yelling out those incorrect things. This made me wonder if people jump to conclusions about everything. people see me and they make many judgements of me based off what they see. then they soon find out that they are wrong about they're first impression of who i am. anyway... After they heard the poem, they all clapped and applauded and said "omg that was soo good" and "can i hear it again". what happened to it being a love poem? you were pretty sure you were right, but after you heard it it was like oh... that was sooo good. i'm guessing the oh was to show that you had made a mistake. now.. what i noticed is how each person reacted to the title. One person was quick to blurt out they're assumption, while another was going to stay quiet, but still thought it. it wasn't until someone else said something that they decided to join. Do people really have to wait for someone else to do something before they can do it themselves? i still don't get how everyone jumped to conclusions immediately after hearing just the title. You is a pronoun/ it could be used to substitute for
MANY things, but yet people insisted that it had to be that one person. I hope this doesn't happen on a daily basis. actually now that i think about it... i noticed this a few years ago. i just didn't express it in anyway.i laugh when i hear:

"OMG i was totally wrong about you"

wait what? how were you wrong about me? how would you have ANY idea of who i am by just looking at me?

maaannn people suck lol. Later.
