Pittsburgh MCG - Kay (Mentor/Artist) - Day 2

So today I received an unexpected lesson about people. During our adventure of seeing the beautiful colors of the Grand Prismatic and Old Faithful we kind of did a “social experiment” where we had to approach strangers, introduce ourselves and tell them something about Yellowstone while being recorded on camera. It was very interesting seeing how people were willing and unwilling to give us a moment of their time. We were faced with some rejection, but we also had some successful interviews. In the end after reflecting on today’s events I realized that in life there will be people who aren’t going to react to you the way that you think they should and that isn’t necessarily a reflection of who you are, but a projection of how they may feel and their self-struggle. We don’t know how people may feel or what they are going through and we have to learn not to take that personally. We are all different and that is ok and when we face a situation like that, we shouldn’t get discouraged. We should take that as a positive lesson and try again.
