I Didn't Mean to Make You Mad :(

After lunch, a conversation arose about writing in blogs and a few people were complaining that I never write on mine and trying to give me suggestions on what I should write about. I tried to explain that I need to be inspired to write something otherwise I was not going to spend time writing one. This conversation took an ugly turn into me being stubborn and set in my ways and some confusion that I guess I caused. Well….that was fun.

On dictionary.com they define stubborn as:

1. a. Unreasonably, often perversely unyielding; bullheaded.
b. Firmly resolved or determined; resolute. See Synonyms at obstinate
2. Characterized by perseverance; persistent
3. Difficult to treat or deal with; resistant to treatment or effort: stubborn soil; stubborn stains.

So am I stubborn? Yes, probably. But I also think it is good to be stubborn to a point. It is important to have convictions and strong beliefs otherwise anyone can influence you and even take control of you. Through my past experiences I have learned to be more stubborn in my principles because I do not want to be that person who let’s everyone walk all over them on issues where you should have your own stance.

I am not saying you should never listen to other’s views; you should always show them respect. Even if you do not agree with them, try and understand where they are coming from, and allow them to have their own opinion. If I am ever NOT doing this-please let me know….you can go ahead and call me out

In conclusion….I apologize to those I have been stubborn to when it was not appropriate, or acting like I know everything (I only know most things! ;) J/K) I am sorry, go ahead and call me out next time. However, my opinion on the KEWPEE vs. wendy’s debate will NEVER change! (especially since the creation of that appalling commercial with the square hamburgers!)
