I will post whatever the hell I want, thank you

 

I swear, I have seen so many posts going through the news feeds on social media telling people “How dare you talk about how your children annoy you!” “How dare you post your political views!” “How dare you post anything religious!” “How dare you post tons of links to help others out!” And so on…

Well, people, I hate to break it to you but my account on social media is MINE, if you don’t like the things I post there is a very simple solution to this. It is called unfriend or unfollow. NO, I wont be offended if you unfriend me because if you are so judgmental as to report me or write huge long posts how my posts offend you then I am better off without you.

Just to be clarify, nothing happened to me specifically, but I see it every day.

I am not asking you to stop posting your views since that would make me just like you. What I am getting at is tolerance. Sure, I see posts that offend me all the time and I just move on. If you let everything get to you, you will end up living a very negative life. Do you want to go through life letting every little thing upset you?

I have friends of all political views. I respect that.
I have friends of all religious views. I respect that.
I have friends of all sexual orientation. I respect that.
I have friends of all different careers. I respect that.
I have friends of all different income levels. I respect that.

If any of their posts offend me, that is because of what is going on with ME. I can CHOOSE to let it go, or to make a big deal about it.

I know, I’m making a big deal about it now. But we all have a life to live and living it letting every little thing bother you isn’t going to give you a happy life. I have my views and I will post about them. I have my crazy kids and I will post when they do something crazy or when they are driving ME crazy.

I will post whatever the hell I want
and you should too.

So you, who make the long posts about what we should or should not say on social media, You also have the right to post it, but I really hope that it makes you feel better. I hope that those who have reported people who didn’t deserve to be reported, I hope that it made you happy and it was worth it, because I only want for everyone to be happy.

It feels strange posting this because I feel like I’m doing the same thing that I am trying to discourage. Sort of, hypocritical in a way. But, this is about being tolerant, letting go and living life.
