I don't know why but lately I just cannot keep my mouth shut when something irritates me!
Maybe it's because now I know what is important in life, I don't need to be accepted by the "popular" people, be the skinniest, have the nicest hair or even not say what I think because i'm worried my boyfriend won't like it..
I'm married now with a husband that accepts what I have to say and all that really important to me is my son and family so if you don't like what I say in all honesty I actually quite frankly do not give a sh*t!
I was recently part of an "previously" amazing (please note the previously) forum, where for once, it didn't matter what job you did, how much you earned, where you stayed, what colour your hair was, if you were fat, thin, medium, if you had brown, green, yellow hair, whether you were a mom, married or not!
The forum was created by a really caring and special person, who created it so that everyone of any race, age, size etc could come and find support, whether you were TTC, had a baby, suffered a loss or just wanted to get away from the usual and have a chat with really accepting and supportive people.
Some of the ladies on the forum have been thru so much and even though I can't identify with what they've gone thru, they've really been such an inspiration to carry on, when you feel down, they're the first ones to say "we're here to help you back up".
Everything is so rushed these days, that I can't remember the last time I actually had time to sit with a friend, in person and have a good chat and cup of coffee - glass/bottle of wine and just have a good chat... I looked forward to my little "coffee date" everyday with my group of forum friends... then of course there needed to be a few immature little "girls" who are trying very hard to play with the adults!
As a little girl, my parents would take us to my grandparents during the day and if they had guests we were not even allowed into the lounge... It seems like maybe the "little" girls on the fourm should not be allowed into the adult lounge... maybe a policy needs to be instituted where there is some kind of maturity test whereby you will be judged by a panel and according to your maturity you will be granted access to the "big people" lounge?
Everyone will at some stage have an issue with another person, however a forum is a public domain, why do people feel the need to air their issues with a single person within a group? Is it that a) they're too dam coward to PM them and discuss it and need the "security" of a public discussion because they know if they PM them they'll get their heads bitten off or b) are they trying to evoke a response so that they're looked at as a victim and get sympathy?
And lastly - I'm so so so sick of people complaining about living in SA - please if you don't like it here leave, i'm certainly not going to miss your negativity... whoopi f***cking do that you're moving back to wherever you came from but you do NOT need to mess up a post on the weather about how bad SA is!
Ok now i'm done!
