A Letter to Someone Like You

Since beginning this blog, I've lost a few supposed friends. Some didn't like the way I vented, others thought I was being too selfish. Last time I checked blogs are usually about the people writing them. This is MY blog, so I'll write about ME. My intentions are not to offend, put down, or make anyone feel uncomfortable, but I will not apologize for anything I say. If I offend you, then fuck off. I don't need people like that in my life. For those of you that have supported me on my blogging, I just want to thank you. You guys are the main reason why I decided not to delete it. Earlier today I received a message after I commented on my Facebook that maybe I should just be donzo with my blog if it offended people to the point that I am losing friends. I then got this message from someone I haven't spoken to in a while and I didn't even think they would be reading my blog.

This is what they said: "it's absoultely not offensive! I actually wrote a paragraph. I wanted to tell you that I seriously sat & cried while reading your blog and I'm so sorry that your going through all of that. I think your so brave for posting that for everyone to see especially knowing how people can be. i don't know if you believe in prayer but I can have my church pray for you if that's alright with you. I just really feel like God put it in my heart to tell you & to pray for you."

This message and others from supportive friends made me decide to keep blogging.  If people want to get offended and leave, then I suppose you were never really my friend, let alone know me. I will keep blogging the way I want. If I want to cuss like a sailor, then so be it. If I want to call my exhusband a sperm donor, then I will. These are my thoughts, my feelings, and I have nothing to hide. Like it or hate it. Support me and I'll love you forever, hate me and I will delete you from my life. Negativity is not needed in my life. I need positive.  My blog was started on the intention of maybe helping one person, letting them know someone else is suffering, or in the same position as them. Or just so they know someone is there to listen to their problems. This blog was not started on the intention of pissing people off, causing trouble, let alone lose friends. 

So this letter is to someone like you, to my supporters and to my haters.
