I just received a rejection to my couchsurf request in Amsterdam. The process goes that you view your "host's" profile and in your written request to stay with them, you explain why you would like to meet this person. I hate this part. I have to make a hasty judgement based on one's self-proclaimed written word--will I get along with this person or not, how do I know they will not shave my eyebrow off in my sleep, and hopefully they don't have any bizarre habits (p.s. bizarre and awkward= two words that don't exist in Spanish and make my life extremely difficult to express). I received yet another rejection letter from Amsterdam, and had posed within they "Why I Want to Meet You" part, why did he say: "I like couchsurfing because I like to make connections with different people"...How is it possible to have a connection with everyone? This was his response:

"It's a good question about connecting with people. This is the answer I've found myself. When you play a guitar string, you hear the sound, it is composed of a base frequency, and many overtones. The base frequency allows you to recognize the sounds, the overtones give it the unique timbre of a guitar. If you play the same note on a piano, the base frequency will be the same. The overtones give it the unique timbre of a piano. When we meet people, often we pay attention only to the overtones: what makes us unique. But, deep down, I think all people resonate at the same base frequency."

Being different and being beautiful is something we embrace. But, sometimes, we forget, that it's okay to just be human.
