Close your eyes and open them again, see if it all still matters.

The way I see it, I'm not mean. No...seriously...

Just for the record, the post about people who try too hard to come off as artsy...let's play a game.
True or False:
-If you do any of those things, I hate you and/or was referring to you in specific. False: I was referring to a blanket group of people, not any people in particular. That post was not about one person. It was not about two, three, or four people. It about a general breed of people. And just because you do one or two of those things doesn't mean it bothers me. It bothers me when people take it to extremes and want to make sure everyone knows just how artsy they are. That's what I meant.
-Because of that post, I am mean. False: ...I just don't get this. Everyone has pet peeves. I really am just failing to comprehend how it makes me a cruel or mean-spirited person because I vented about one of mine on my personal blog. It's just an opinion. That's all it is.
-Every poem and photography album I've come across on Facebook sucks. False: I know of some really talented people who showcase their work on Facebook. I don't think it's wrong to post your stuff on Facebook. I only find it annoying when people do it constantly as if they are trying to shove their creativity in people's faces.
-I'm a hypocrite for that. False: Wait, what? I don't do any of those things I poked fun at. I like skinny jeans and cardigans and I listen to some unheard of music and I have a slight tendency to use big words. I admit all of those things. And yeah, a lot of the people in that group I was addressing have those habits as well. But I don't do any of the things I expressed as annoying. So yeah...no. Not a hypocrite.
-That post was written in complete seriousness. False: No, it really was not. I was just a little bit over having to hide a ludicrous amount of people from my Facebook News Feed and wanted to satirize one of my pet peeves. I wasn't trying to attack, ridicule, or demean anyone. I didn't mean for it to become all that big of a deal.
-It would be in my, and everyone else's, best interest to delete the post. True: Yeah. Yeah, it really would. But I'm stubborn and annoying and defensive and I won't. Like I've said before, I stand by my words. I, for one, like that post and I don't want to delete it. Sorry. I guess if you want to dislike me after reading that post, so it goes. I mean, we both have a right to our opinions.

Yeah, I kind of got a lot criticism about that post and I wanted to clear some things up. But I saw today that my profile had a surprising number of views. I was genuinely shocked, I really didn't think anyone read my blog except for me. If you actually read this, thanks. Genuinely and sincerely, thanks.

But hey, that just the way I see it...?
