i'm just going to throw this out there: i appreciate your opinion.
god knows i (personally) have plenty of opinions concerning just about everything under the sun. and i often express these opinions right here. the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.
but, people, this is getting tiring. long story short: i'll never make you happy, and i never really intended to.
long ago, back in the day when this blog was all dots...i had a "comment" section.
bad idea. it was misused. feelings were hurt. lines were crossed.
end-o-comment-feature.
also, i've consistently attached my personal email to this blog somewhere, which you've used. repeatedly.
but more recently i've created an email address specifically for this here blog.
and woah, hello world.
you guys aren't going to like everything i do. actually, there are a lot of you that don't like anything i do. and you're the first to tell me.
that's fine. i get it. all of this is up for interpretation.
but seriously, it's not that serious.
you don't like the colors of my header. i do. they remind me of sunsetting miami beaches. sunset is my favorite time of day. therefore the colors of the sunset speak to me. it's all ok.
you don't like my polaroids. i don't like my polaroids either. they're supposed to be ridiculous and nauseating. that's the fun. to me, at least.
you don't like when i'm too serious. you don't like when my posts aren't deep enough. you don't like the way i don't use capitalization any more. you don't agree. you agree but think I could have said things differently. you don't agree and you don't like me.
i get it.
whether its emails, comments, youtube stuff, blog stuff....people love to express their opinion. directly. or, actually, indirectly when it comes to the cyber world. it's way too easy to be critical-on-the-edge-of-offensive-as-well-as-abusive. some people take zero thought or perspective when commenting on something.
not everybody, though. just some.
watch any youtube video and read any of the sometimes thoughtful, most-times thoughtless, absurd, ridiculous, horrific, and altogether deplorable comments people leave. it's jaw dropping.
again, sometimes its positive. but not typically.
it just makes me think: these comments come from our peers. these are every day citizens, amongst us...every day. just people stopping by. but who are you? you all get to see who i am, as well as other bloggers, vloggers, etc, but who are you to say such horrible things to someone you don't know? i'm not speaking personally, i'm just speaking openly.
when it's a conversation, that's different. i love to hear that you either agree, disagree, like or dislike...as long as it's intelligent and respectful. but when you leave a two sentence, vile-filled comment that doesn't do anyone any good...what's the point?
so, when you comment, think about what it is you're actually saying, and how the person on the other end will interpret your opinion.
we're all human. most of us.
but, at any rate, thank you for the feedback. i hear you.
