This I Believe

I believe in smoothies, the harmonious blend of different flavors, creating something unique. Multiple flavors can be combined to make one taste. No two smoothies are alike, just as no two people are alike. Everyone has a mix of personality traits and life experiences that belong to no one else.
Once I combined some random fruits and juices and made what had to be the best smoothie I had ever made. Ecstatic, I wrote down these ingredients to use again. When I did try to re-create this smoothie, it tasted completely different that the original.
I believe that it is no one’s place to judge or make assumptions about other people. Sometimes the clothes people wear or the amount of time they spend playing video games bring up assumptions and prejudices about them.
Once I was at my friend’s house and her sister made a smoothie for me and some of my other friends. Once we had all taken a gulp of it, she announced proudly that one of the main ingredients was tofu. We immediately spat the mixture out, but once we forced ourselves to drink some more, we realized that it wasn’t that bad.
I believe in people, that they all have something different to offer the world, and that there is some good in all of them.
