When I was first here, people looked at my hair, noticed apples on my tray, and thought 'hippie.' Then, from 'hippie' they thought 'druggie.' From there it went to 'will get me in trouble' and 'not worth my time,' and then they stopped thinking at all. No one bothered to find out if what they thought about me was true. No one wanted to hear what I thought. No one cared what I believed in. No one cared about talking to me or asking what my plans were for the day or night. And then came you. Don't let what you think you know make him into what I could have been. Don't become someone who doesn't think, just because you don't like him for some reason. Because, quite frankly, I like how you think. Except for now, of course.","author":"Rebecca McKinsey","tags":["assumptions","culture","hippie","misconceptions","people","people-skills"],"id":36514,"author_id":"Rebecca+McKinsey"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":162,"pages":17,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
