Social media is a crazy thing. It's either a really cool platform where someone can share their thoughts and ideas with the world, or it's a crap shoot where people feel the need to give you their two cents on your posts, completely tearing you down, or directly insulting you.
I'm sorry, but I honestly just don't remember ever saying, "Hey there random stranger, want to bombard me with your opinions and publicly call me stupid for having one of my own?"
Yeah, didn't say that. So if you could just quickly remind me why exactly you're doing it?
Because let me be real clear, I'm never going to care what you think of me, so save your breath.
Not only do I not care about what you say, I couldn't care less about what you think. I don't need your approval, verbal or physical.
Let's play again, and you tell me whether or not I said it.
"Hey random stranger, me again. I would love for you to give me a dirty look of disapproval for what I'm wearing, what I'm doing, or what I look like as compared to what I should look like."
Yep, you guessed correctly, no way in hell did I ever say that. But yet here I am being judged for who I am by people who think I care.
Whether it's directly from a person or society in general, here's another friendly reminder, I don't need your approval.
I am my own person, so who I am, what I say, what I wear, or what I do has absolutely, entirely, positively, 100%, nothing to do with you.
I would love nothing more than for you to grow as an individual and focus on you, but in the case that you choose the opposite, continuing to tell me what you think of me and criticizing me, just know that I don't need your validation, and you can f*ck right off.
