Speaking My Mind

95% of the time I speak my mind. About 70% of the time I get in trouble for speaking my mind. The other 5% of the time when I don't speak my mind I'm not talking. I do get mad when I get in trouble for speaking my mind but I know it's going to happen and I have learned to live with it. But I'm not going to stop speaking my mind any time soon. I mean really somebody has got to speak their mind because when no one speaks their mind something is terribly wrong. Plus I have a right to think, I have a right to speak my thought , and if you don't like it, that's your problem. If you don't want to hear it DON'T LISTEN. It's as simple as that. If you don't listen you don't hear. If you don't hear you aren't offended, but sadly enough if you don't listen you don't learn. If you're never offended then you obviously either don't do anything or don't listen which means you don't learn and without knowledge life doesn't mean much. Why? Because you never cared long enough to listen and figure out what to do with life. So what does all of this have to do with me speaking my mind? Nothing really. I speak my mind to make me feel better not you, and if you don't like it I really don't care. So if you think that if you tell me you're offended by what I said or you try to, and succeed in, getting me in trouble that I will no longer speak my mind and you will no longer have to hear it or be offended, Think Again. Because I DON'T CARE if you're offended a lot of the time and most of the time it's probably better if you are offended. Because if you take it the right way there is a possibility that it could help you in your life, because a lot of the time negative things tell you what you need to do with your life to improve it. So next time you're offended try to take what is said and make yourself a BETTER PERSON. By no means though do you use this as an excuse to buckle under peer pressure. I don't want any one saying " Well,they offended me so I had to do it." BULLCRAP. You make yourself a BETTER PERSON by applying insults POSITIVELY to change you for the BETTER. Not anything like "They called me a coward so I did it." No. Wrong. Whatever it is it is probably not worth it down the road. So plan ahead, change for the better,and I don't care if you don't like it when I speak my mind.
