Just anther post

So this old couple was coming out the store with alot of bags. I walked over to help them load them in the back of the truck. They said young man we cant lie you kinda of scared us when you walked up cause the way you look, But as soon as your mouth opened you sounded so gentle and calm and loving. The lady said if you dont mind me asking why did you get those tattoos on face. I said well it a very long story to sum it for you i was going through hard times and in a place where my mind wasnt where it needed to be and i was trying to fit in. She said her son is in prison now and she new the affect that it has on him and she was sorry i had to go through that. Thing is i never said i was locked up. That puzzled me because it was true. The old man said son im sorry we had to ask. I said its no problem sir. They said i was the most sweetest and kind person they have seen lately and im walking proof that you cant judge a book by its cover no matter how rough the book looks. They offered me money for help and i said i cant take that just the talk i had with them was worth enough to me cause that moment can never be replaced. 



If the world today wouldnt be so fast to judge then it would most deffently be a better place. No matter what the person has on the outside it doesnt give anyone the rite to judge so fast. This is tieing in with my past few post and some of the people that commented there. People has been so fast to judge me on some of my post and ive deleted a whole of post because of people not taking the time to see through my skin. Hell honestly i can read a person like a book before even talking to them and well theres a big difference between the two. I havnt never labeled someone just because of a reading i got. I have never judge some one of there past well i have a few times but consider they were child *predators but other than those times ive never had the heart to judge some one. 



I may look pretty, or have tattoos and scars but each and everyone of has something about us that may bother us and may scare people but if we dont confront these issuse then how are we ever going to get over it and how will the other side know the true story.



My point is we cant just set around and judge people, And we cant just set around and be scared of ourselves our whole lifes either. Get out and show the world that we are not who they think we are just because we have labels or what ever it may be.

Scotty, 100% agreement with your post. Not much to add other than glad you had that conversation with the older couple. If you feel I have judged you, feel free to unfriend me. Uplifting hugs as your journey continues.

not at all @SimpsonsOK just a few people had posted somethings that was directing certain things towards me and i just dont put up with talking down or downing some one if i for one dont know what the person isgoing through.

i cant just read a post and judge the person from that and i sure cant make a comment downing someone just for the simple fact i wouldnt want it down t me.

Thats something that really ticks me off and ill be the first to stand up for my self and others and i can be a big ass teddy bear just depends on how me and the people around me treated.

Yea i admit i scare myself when i look at the mirror at times and really dont blame people for be startled when i come up to them. Hell id be the same way. But on the other hand me nore them should be scared of what we see cause like what some say " you never like it til you try it" well it works for people as well . You never know if your gonna like the person until you try to know them.


But yea it doesnt need to change, to much hate in the world as it is.

Scotty, I can't change those who are judgmental, nor those who are mean spirited. I do keep my distance as I don't need more pain and hurt in my life. Sometimes I don't step away in time. I tend to see past the outside, kind of like it's saran wrap, and right to the inside. Suspect you also have that ability. That's where you're aware of the right career for you. Trust me when I say that I have some folks who may look scary on the outside, but also know they would protect me in a heartbeat. Yep, the tough looking teddy bears is such an apt description. Here for you. Maybe I'll adopt you as a grandson. Hugs.

Great post, Scotty. Not only did you change the perceptions of the couple you helped, but they in turn will share this experience with their family/friends/others. You're such a kind-hearted person for helping them out with their bags.

Regarding your face tattoos, do they make it difficult to find a job? How many do you have, and which is your favorite? I'd imagine that they all have meaning to you. I'm sorry to ask so many questions, but to be honest, you're the first person I've "met" who has them.

Hugs and keep being you.

great post... thanks for sharing
I dont have ink but I still get my share of being judged before they get to know me
the life I had gave me a certain look in my face that others would be uncomfortable with me around
my sister told her boyfriend one time when he told her he is a little intimidated by me... she told him basically the same that once he got to know me Im just a big teddy bear

yea my looks all started from a certain way of life and i believe it would be the same without ink but the ink tends to increase it more ...thanks for sharing
