Avoiding the inevitable...

Hello again all, I have been toying with what to blog about today... How does one prove a point without sometimes being controversial? In fairness, it’s easy to be controversial, the cleverness and wit comes from how one portrays the point! Sound cryptic? I know it does to me too... When one blogs, they generally want to spill the beans on their own personal journeys/experiences/mistakes etc. and how we made come backs from all of them. People are selfish remember, we all love talking about ourselves! That’s undeniable, that’s why places like the internet are an absolute dream because it creates a void where you can talk and talk without being interrupted or have anyone’s opinions to match or defend. Sounds great right but what happens if all this trigger happy typing goes array and you write something you probably shouldn’t about someone who knows someone who read the blog of someone who knows someone who read YOUR blog? That person is going to feel attacked by the internet, as if their own personal story has now been splashed on some blog without anyone’s permission. What if you decide that the best revenge on an asshole ex is to blog nasty stories about him/her? Believing you’re convincing the world that this person is the lowest of the lows and they should all follow you because that’s how YOU feel, do we really think that is going to portray you in a good light? At the end of the day, that’s what you’re trying to do... Understandably so! Here’s my thing, I am an impulsive person, and I tend to feel before I think. It’s a lovely thing at times but is my ultimate curse. There have been many times that I've typed up a blog post when angry or hurt and luckily never posted them because when I read the post the next day, I realised that by reacting in ways like that is only making you look like the idiot. It’s not only the internet; we all do impulsive and make rash decisions when hurt or angry. That will always be the case, but perhaps it takes a good few deep breaths and a word or two with someone who anchors you to realise that in fact the best thing to do is be strong and walk away. We will all learn this lesson the hard way by making the grave mistake of allowing the switch to flip and your cool plan of staying calm and collected goes straight out the window. I have typed this post as carefully as I could without bringing any of my own personal situations into it...if someone out there thinks it’s aimed at you, you're probably right but I promise I didn’t do it on purpose;) x
