I used to be really ignorant, arrogant, narcissistic, self-absorbed and insensitive. You guys know this better than I do. Then I realised it, and felt terribly guilty, and apologetic. I devoted my time and energy towards becoming a better person. I’d like to think that I’ve made substantial progress, that I’ve eliminated maybe at least 60-70% of my undesirable qualities. <\/p>\n
Some people are still never satisfied. Well, fuck you! I’m not going to grovel and jump through your hoops. I’m not even asking you to meet me halfway- 75\/25 is okay with me. I have better things to do with my time than feel guilty and apologetic every single time somebody decides to get offended by me being myself. I’m already a much better person than I was a year ago, and I don’t think I’m being unreasonable. There’s a fine balance to be tread, and right now, I think I’m giving in just a little bit more then necessary.<\/p>\n
I’m not going to return to being an egoistic arrogant fucker, but I’m not going to go out of my way to apologize for being myself either- especially when there’s obviously no real harm done.<\/p>\n
I have a very low tolerance for recurring inconsistencies and stupid bullshit, and I call it out and rip it to shreds when I see it- even if you’re my friend. In fact, ESPECIALLY if you’re my friend. I’m not even doing it in public to embarrass you- if anybody asks me about any of my friends, I always try to find something nice to say- I do it in private, to help you realise what people might be thinking but not saying. I firmly believe that friends ought to be honest with one another.<\/p>\n
If you can’t handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen!<\/p>\n
I have to admit that it isn’t really anybody’s fault but my own that I’m sort of ranting right now. But hey, I haven’t ranted in a while, have I? I feel good now. I’ll make better decisions as I go along.<\/p>\n
For those of you who’ve stuck with me all this while (even through my MegaDouche days- I don’t know how or why you did it), thank you, I love and appreciate y’all very much. \u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
