I saw this quote today…..


I actually couldn’t agree more with this. Do you feel the need to make sure everyone knows your side of the story?

I used to be a very different person.
I did some pretty extreme things that got people talking.
They came up with their own narrative for my actions with out even asking me what happened.
To this day, even tho I have explained my side and never faulted or changed one tiny part, they still think that I did what they think I did for why they think I did.
Screw them. Let think what they will because you ain't changing any ones mind.

@Dainbramadge that’s what I think too. I did nothing that was no worse than anyone else has ever done here when feelings were hurt and I apologized for it because I can admit to when I am wrong and I know this is shocking but I can be wrong a lot. I am not going to worry about it anymore. They are all blocked and if they want to keep talking they can. I don’t care, I want to spend my time here laughing, supporting people and making connections.

@iamonfire696 It's hard to just let that sh^t happen some times but they are going to think what they will.
My counselor calls it not picking up the rope. Also known as not my circus, not my monkeys. LOL
I have a hard time doing it because I get so infatic about people knowing that I am a straight shooter and I don't tell fibs. I don't embellish. Just the facts.
I know I'm a screw up and I, well, screw stuff up a lot. But I own it when I do.
To be honest, not picking up the rope is the hardest thing for me to change about myself.
Also, those are the exact same things I want to spend my time doing as well. :-)
You rock.

@Dainbramadge it’s hard for me, I am a people pleaser but I do it to my detriment you know? I finally worked through the fact that not everyone will like me. I am okay with that but I don’t think people need to be cruel.

Are you doing okay at not picking up the rope? I hope you are making the connections you want. Thank you for the compliment 💖.

@iamonfire696 I am doing better at the rope thing but I have been working at it for about 8 years. LOL
Some times i just want to grab and shake some people because they just won't listen to reason.
Then there is the more perverse side of me that kind of enjoys watching the little people point fingers and cower in the corner. LOL
Yeah, screw 'em if they want to think negative. It's their own down fall. :-)

@Dainbramadge j am glad you are doing better with the rope. I can see why you would want to do that to some people but they aren’t worth it.

It is their down fall, truly.
