So you just get out of class and your walking along and you notice people are looking at you. At first you feel awkward and wonder why people are staring at you. They are smiling at you too. You feel a little uncomfortable but you brush it off, sometimes people just stare. You keep walking along and you notice people are still looking at you and they are still smiling! You felt weird but now you start to feel good. Your thinking dang I must look good today! I knew these new jeans made me look good. Before you know it you have a new swing in your step and you are smiling right back at everyone. You feel so confident and good that you get really outgoing and strike up conversations with people. Everyone seems to respond well and you are just flying high! "Dang!", you think "I am really cool and people DO like me, I should be like this all the time". Before your ego gets too out of hand you decide you better take a quick bathroom break. As you are washing your hands you look up in the mirror only to see that the blue pen you were using in class earlier is now all over your face. Somehow it got on your hand and you had leaned your face on your hand. Your face is blue. All day people have been staring and smiling at your blue face. Dang.
There is a good lesson to be learned here. And no it's not "don't use a blue pen" or "don't get caught up in ego" (although that is a good lesson). The lesson to learn is that regardless of why you were getting attention it allowed you to be more open and free. You were confident, happy, charming and witty all because you felt good. Maybe today let go and let yourself feel this way. Oh and ya...maybe avoid blue pens :)
