I’m sure we’re all going to have a blast – except for the ones who get offended easily, because I’ve got some strong opinions. Now, of course, I’ll follow the Golden Rule if you do; sound like a plan?
My goal here is to make us all feel comfortable talking about heavy topics like mental illnesses, politics (if you’d like, I’m not much of a fan), gun control, etc. Hey, on occasion, I’ll even throw in a couple religious ones. For the most part though, I’ll try to ease conversation through poor humor and self-deprecation (hope you don’t mind), so as to make you more comfortable, like I’m a friend and not some weird teen girl behind a computer only speaking her mind because her identity’s hidden.
Look at this as an opportunity to maybe release some of those pent-up emotions. For example, if I tried talking about any of this to my parents, they’d think I was a lunatic or had no clue what I was talking about simply because I am younger than them. I mean, I feel like I may be a bit educated on some of this, but, of course, there will be times where I’m an ignorant buffoon. Please, feel free to correct me if I’m an idiot and don’t get my facts straight. Don’t tell me I’m an idiot to my face, though; I’m a sensitive little bean.
I hope this gives us all a little bit of a conversation starter of sorts, so we can get into this a bit easier, because believe me when I say I have no clue what the heck I’m doing. Let’s toast: apple juices up, to speaking our minds and becoming friends in the process.
And, randomly, here’s an artsy picture I took, back in my times of being a Cali girl.
