One, is a girl; she seemed so happy and bubbly at first (it actually seemed annoying at first) but as time went by, I got to know her and her past life with an eating disorder. She still struggles with it, but for the most part it seems that she has decided to follow the healthy eating path. I can see so much in her eyes, the pain, excitement, confusion, aloofness; while others think of her just as extremely ditzy and 'blonde'. I decided during the second semester of school to leave a nice note and some sort of snack to brighten her every day at her desk. I will keep a close eye on her, as I am still worried about her sanity.
Another person who opened my eyes a little more, is one who I never thought would. I first saw him as someone that I would have liked to flirt with on a small scale, but, as I got to know him, my opinion changed. I no longer wanted to flirt or whatever I was thinking, I wanted to know his story, his opinions, I wanted to open his caged mind and let the ghosts of his past haunt my thoughts. Eventually, I got there, and I learned so much more than I hoped. Like-wise, he wanted the same from me, and he also achieved what no other could before, he took this cage of a head and let the birds free. He is now my best friend and we know each other more than anyone knows us.
The last person that I met is an artist, someone I look up to. He looks up to me too, and we rely on each other for ideas, stories, music, etc. He can look into anyone's soul and know if they are any good. He knows a free person when he meets them, and the pricks when he sees them. He is the most intelligent, free, creative, knowing person I know. And I look forward to doing some damage and improvement to this world with him. Together, we can change things for the better and rid the monotone people.
I hope to meet more people like this as my time here continues.
