CONTROVERSY AND SUCH.

Okay. This will be another quickie, seeing as it is three in the morning and I have absolutely no drive or desire to write this at all.


COMMENTERZ. Love for Blair, Misty, Marina, Eryn, Ella, Sabrina, Anonymous reader, Kristin, Alycia, Anonymous reader #2, Elz, James, and Lauryn. You guys are the greatest and if I had more energy and willpower right now I would give each and every one of your amazing and thoughtful comments the attention it deserves.

First things first. It's no secret that last night's post caused a little bit of controversy. And you know, I kind of wish I hadn't posted it now, it was really late at night, I wasn't thinking of what people's reactions might be, I was just writing how I felt. So for that, I apologize. I want to clear a couple things up though.

First of all. Keep the hate off this blog, plain and simple. I understand that this is the internet and you can do whatever you want, but please. I don't care if you flame me anywhere else- YouTube, Formspring, whatever, none of that bothers me, but just keep it out of here. This blog is very personal to me, I don't plan on holding back at all here. This is where I write about my life. And my life is the one place that internet "haters" should not be able to touch. So I am asking you nicely. Take it somewhere else.

Second of all, to the first of the two people that felt the need to post an anonymous hateful comment yesterday- You can call me lots of things. But there are three things that I know for sure that I'm not. I'm not boring, I'm not fake, and I'm not stupid. As far as "stupid" goes, I may be seventeen and I am aware that I don't know everything there is to know about life and I'm aware that I have a lot to learn. But that doesn't make me stupid. I know for a fact that I am a highly intelligent and capable girl whose been through her own share of trials and tribulations (and no, I'm not talking stupid boy issues here). So that's how I feel about that.

And on a less important note, I want to clarify that when I was criticizing Posh Spice's photograph yesterday, I was not at all trying to degrade him or try to make him appear unsuccessful. The kid is very talented (I'm no expert in his field or genre, obviously, but from what I can tell, he's got talent) and I'm not petty enough to be like, "oh, I hope his band fails and I hope he fails at life and ends up working at McDonald's for the rest of his life". However, I'm not going to be one of those trite little bitches who say things like, "I wish him nothing but the best in life!" and "I know he will make it far!" because to tell you the truth, I don't care either way. Whether he succeeds or fails at his aspirations, it has no effect on his character. Basically, it doesn't matter if he gets famous or not if he's still a douche. Money can't buy happiness.

And the other thing is that, I know I might come off as just a bitter ex-girlfriend, but there is always more to the story than that. I'm not going to go into specifics because I don't want to tick anyone off but... I can promise I'm not just some stupid girl who assumes someone is a terrible person just because they got tired of being in a relationship. There is always more to the story, and I think people forget that far too often.

Okay. Well, I'm sure that just made the anonymous jerks from yesterday even more mad, but seeing as it's almost four in the morning I can't be bothered to care.

I guess what we can all learn from this is. What I feel, and what I experience, is going to come out in this blog sometimes. And, as a human being, it's not always going to be peachy happy super duper sunshine and roses. And it's not always going to be intelligent or thought out or planned.

Thankfully, I'm generally a happy person. Especially lately. Life has been treating me, for the most part, well. I am dealing with some family stuff, but it's nothing I can't ignore for a while, and it's nothing I haven't faced before. Hell, it's nothing compared to what it used to be. At least now I don't have to share a house with it. I guess I am coming to terms with the fact that it's something that's going to follow me everywhere, all my life. I'll be thirty years old and it'll be the same thing.

But beyond that? Like I said in my last blog, I'm seventeen years old and I'm out of high school. This is the time of my life, these are the good years! I have absolutely nothing holding me back, I have a bright future to create, and anything is possible. And I don't know about you, but I am thrilled.

I can sum up today's events in just a couple sentences. We finished season three of Supernatural, and have started season four. And holy crap, this show is intense. Like, I can't even...

Jared Padelecki is gorgeous though, really.

  1. Bree-
    When I used to have a blog I remember posting the most immature thing and the next day wanting to delete it. I didn't though because I realized that it was apart of me, if I kept erasing things (both good and bad) from my life I'd slowly disappear. I happen to love your blog and all your posts so keep at it. I'm glad things are going well, and you're right, your ex isn't worth your time.

  2. I'm really glad that you're writing this blog even though there are haters out there.
    It shows you're strong.
    So just keep doing what you do no matter what anyone else says about it.
    & like Alycia said, they aren't worth your time.

  3. do what makes you happy.
    and don't let anyone tell you what to do, or who to be, or how to act.
    if they can't accept you or love you for that, then they don't deserve to be in your life. that goes for anonymous immature asswipes, and anybody else.

  4. solid effort of constantly watching supernatural! that's good effort. this is making me want to watch it more and more. :)

    i think you're very brave for putting this up, and you've addressed everything like a pro. there was no reason for anyone to be a dick in the comments yesterday, and you've fully put them in their place now, so i think that's pretty cool :) nice work!

    i liked the line about nothing holding you back. that's a great great attitude to have; daps. i hope you achieve everything you want to and more. <3

  5. i like how there's no hater comments on this right now. when i was reading the parts about them wasting their time, i totally agreed, but i figured that dumb poop heads would just ruin it anyway. but they haven't yet! perhaps you scared them away. :]
    so anyway, at the top you apologize how you feel? "I wasn't thinking of what people's reactions might be, I was just writing how I felt. So for that, I apologize." you shouldn't apologize for how you felt bree, especially since this is your blog. tumblr once told me to never apologize for how i feel since it's just like saying "sorry for being real." but i understood what you meant with the reactions being out of hand, though.
    also, you have such a great attitude toward life now. like you said, nothing is holding you back. that attitude is exactly why you're one of my idols. i hope you live a very successful and happy life. actually, i'm sure you will. :]

  6. I just wrote a long comment, and blogger decided to lose it. Basically it said that your readers will stand behind you and if you want to rant, whatever you come off as, it's your personal blog, and you can come off as it if that's how you're feeling that day.
    I also hope that today is filled with sweets and supernatural. (Which I need to seriously find the time to watch.)

  8. I really do admire your attitude and strength towards life and the people in it. Anything else I wanted to say to you has already been stated in all the wonderful comments above! (:

  9. all I can say is that I'm really happy for you, bree. no matter what kind of crazy shit life may be throwing at you, you're brave enough to admit you can't do it all but you're trying. that's very admirable. (:
    best of luck,
    carolyn.

  10. seriously i dont think you should apologize for what you say whether its offensive or not. this is YOUR blog and YOUR feelings, not a place where you should have to watch what you say and apologize for how you feel and if people take it offensively they can suck it and leave. they have no place to come here and hate on you. okay so take that apology back! hahaha. and dont think about people's reactions, they can leave if they want sooo yeah :) i love youuu!! stay you :)
