Everything I am and nothing I'm not. No apologies.

The way I see it, walking on eggshells to protect other people's feelings is useless. No, I don't go around spewing trashtalk about everyone I know. But when I have something to say, I say it. I was just informed that one of my posts offended someone. Eh. Rough waters. I will not, however, revoke what I said.. Am I sorry it offended you? Yes. Am I sorry I spoke my mind? No. Look, as a journalist, I'm all about the First Amendment. I don't consider myself a mean-spirited person, but when something bothers me, I think I have the right to vent about it on my personal blog. If someone happens to come across it and finds that they happen to do some of the things that irk me, so be it. I am entitled to my opinion and I am allowed to express that opinion. I don't publicly point fingers at people or identify the culprit of my annoyances. Therefore, I see nothing wrong with what I said in that post and I stand by my words. Here's the thing: a lot of people would probably like me a whole lot better if I kept my mouth shut half the time. But that isn't me. I'm outspoken, opinionated, and stubborn. Not always my best attributes, but that's the person I am and I will forever vindicate it. If you don't like what I have to say, stop listening to me. I won't stop speaking for the sake of your fragile ears. And for the record, I am still not targeting anyone. I am not targeting the person who was offended. I am speaking to my general audience, if that even exists. Don't get me wrong, I get offended too. Actually, I'm quite fragile and I'm offended easily. But I don't think that its my place to tell someone what they can and cannot say. In that post, I wasn't saying that people aren't allowed to post their writing and/or pictures on Facebook. I'm just saying that it bugs me sometimes. Look, its just venting. It's nothing to get worked up over. After explaining to one of my close friends that my blog offended a reader, I just recieved a text in response saying 'hahahaha, you're such a bitch.' Eh. I speak my mind and I don't hold back anything. And if that makes me a bitch, then so be it. All I'm saying is that just because something hurts someone's feelings...I mean, I really do not intend to hurt anyone. I hate knowing that I did, but it doesn't affect my thoughts and expression of those thoughts. And just because I did, doesn't mean I'm going to change my ways. Besides, who is anyone to attempt to restrict my rights to free speech? But hey, that's just the way I see it.
