This hits pretty hard. I recently joined a Martial Arts class and before it even starts I'm looking at the fellow students with harsh internal judgments and assumptions. I can list what was going through my head, but I feel as if it's better for me to just state it as is and have you fill my shoes. I was skeptical of joining too with the scary thought I'd be become what I have judged and assumed. You just need to find a way to let go.
