I've hosted a girl in the last weekend in my house. I thought it would be a nice experience hosting her, because her profile showed that she is a gentle, nice and sensitive girl. But it turned out to be not so pleasant as I thought.
She is nice, gentle and sensitive anyway. But the problem was that I didn't find the close feeling with her. I don't know why. Is it bcz she is too young for having many stories to tell? No, I can easily talk and guide younger people around me, or listen to their thoughts and feelings. Is it bcz she cold and not friendly? No, she is friendly enough, and also sensitive like any other girl.
So what is the problem? Finally I figured out the thing. This girl has been traveled around the world. And anywhere on the world, she receives free housing, free food, welcoming, and companion. Because she has met so many good and friendly people on her way, she thinks it's obviously that they are friendly, and they should be so. She didn't recognize the effort people made to please her - their guest. And just on the way she only take and not give anything. That's what I don't like about her. English has a very good idiom abt this: Take something for granted.
I felt a little bit not pleased during her stay because she didn't make me feel the warm-hearted feeling, or a thankful attitude toward her hosts. Then I think about myself. Do I take something for granted? Do I take my parents' care on me for granted? Do I take my friends' friendship for granted? Do I take my current house, my daily food, or what I have received on this earth for granted. If I do, I should not from this moment. After thinking so, I immediately called my mom and expressed my love on her. I sent sms to my friends just to say hi. I said thanks to god and people that gave me good things in my life.
Don't never take sthg for granted, Rosie. Be thankful to all the good and bad things you experienced.
