Dude...this turtle? Love.
I was having a discussion with a friend the other day about how people perceive us, first impressions, non-verbal cues and all that jazz. We agreed that judgments are not only made almost immediately, but are incredibly difficult to let go of. For example...I danced with this kid at a middle school dance. I had previously ADORED this boy from afar. While dancing, I actually felt him fart. He FARTED while slow dancing with me to Stairway to Heaven! Very unprofessional. It was not acknowledged, but I felt my interest in him float up out of my body, across the swaying dance floor of hormones and out the door into the night. I never spoke to him again.
And there you have it, a story of a terrible first impression. Lesson learned? Be aware of what you're putting out. Literally.
