INTERNET TROLLS

Thought this might make some people laugh...
Someone just defriended and blocked me because they couldn't handle my opinion on a trending topic.
I used to break bread with this person, used to be beer pong buddies, used to hang out and treated each other like family- I think they called me "big sister". 
And yet, when I voiced my opinion on a subject and they vehemently disagreed ... instead of engaging in a conversation where both sides are heard and there are no hard feelings, instead of "agreeing to disagree", instead of having a respectable debate... this person immediately resort to name calling and swearing and belittling. 
"STFU you're white trash" (not sure what that has to do with anything- you're white too?) and tell me to go kill myself.

This happens way too much on the internet- and I have seen it happen in a [very]specific age group (millennials). Thank God I know that this was one of the stupidest subjects to blow a gasket on and that [my] life will go on.

**The subject was the Cincinnati Zoo gorilla incident- And the person who belittled, defriended, and blocked me claims they should have shot the child because his life was less valuable**
If you'd like to know MY opinion on the subject, I have no opinion. I'm not an expert in parenting, gorillas, tranquilizers, or zoos. I will not be signing any petitions. I have accepted that something happened and it sucks but life will go on- my life will go on regardless.

 Here are some excerpts... hard to get after they blocked me. 
Personal message: They are going to avenge him, the article says it is understood that the Hamilton County Prosecutor’s Office will make a statement on this matter on Monday, June 6. Better yet they should shoot the child, way less valuable imo. You should agree, I mean what if a horse was killed instead of a gorilla since horses seem to be more your cup of tea?

Everyone's thinking it, I'm asking: Is today's left wing liberalism a mental illness?

This is a serious topic of discussion on 'the right'. Not even the far right... the center right. The " 68 % conservatives", the "Centrists", the "Young Outsiders", and the "Somewhat Liberals".  I don't know what the spectrum is for "political or world views" but I'd have to say I hang to the right and the conservative. Which sounds so weird, because CONSERVATIVE is not really a word I'd  ever  use to describe myself. But I talked about this in past blog posts... today's topic is, are people on the FAR LEFT suffering from mental illness? My psychologist sister would have you believe that everyone suffers from some form of mental illness in varying degrees. I suffer from anxiety which induces depression. FUN! The anxiety is inherited, the depression is what occurs when you stop learning how to cope with new or prolonged anxiety inducing situations. Anxiety is a product of chemical imbalance, it can be trea...

sensory overload

We soothe ourselves and distract ourselves and, if we can’t even face the demons inside our own brain, how can we be expected to stick something out, to love someone even when it’s not easy to love them? We bail. We leave. We see a limitless world in a way that no generation before us has seen. We can open up a new tab, look at pictures of Portugal, pull out a Visa, and book a plane ticket. We don’t do this, but we CAN. The point is  that we know we can, even if we don’t have the resources to do so. There are always other tantalizing options. Open up Instagram, Facebook, SnapChat and see the lives of others, the life we could have. The life that just looks so much more glamorous, vibrant (thanks, filters), and exciting than ours. See the places we’re not traveling to. See the lives we’re not living. See the people we’re not dating. We bombard ourselves with stimuli, input, input, input, and we wonder why we’re miserable. We wonder why we’re dissatisfied. ...

Gender Reveal

I had told my husband- after being invited to many of them and seeing more than 'a few' on social media - that I didn't want to have a gender reveal. To me, it's stupid. Being invited to one, I'm like "Do we bring a gift?" or "How does this work?" I think that after being pregnant, I have a better grasp on them and a more solid opinion of them. For my first child, we decided to hold off on a few things. We didn't do the 14 week blood test that would 100% tell us the gender, because it would also tell us a slew of other genetic information (such as if it had Downs or other diseases) that we decided was inconsequential. We didn't find out together during the ultrasound at 20 weeks what baby was, we took home an envelope. We didn't even open that envelope together. My husband actually ran inside the house, opened it, and had it tucked away before I got inside. He HAD TO know, I didn't. I was happy with having a healthy baby growing...
