I got a comment on one of my "If I Could Change One Thing..." posts the other day from someone that I have never met, doesn't follow my blog (to my knowledge... seeing as how there are only a handful of people I know that know it exists...), and do not know in any way shape or form.... And the more I think about, the more I wonder why the person felt the need to comment... Those posts are not meant to be serious! They are supposed to be funny - maybe they are only funny to me, but that's just fine...
This person explained to me how I was asking for things that aren't possible (because I truly thought that I could somehow be blessed with a "magical ability" - come on...) and to focus on things I can actually change.
Their example was "smiling more" - I smile plenty, thanks. I was smiling quite a bit when I wrote that post, in fact... And I was smiling even more as I rejected the unnecessary comment...
So now I'm thinking that "If I Could Change One Thing About Myself This Week" it would be to make myself able to make other people smarter... How's that? I like it.
There's nothing I love more than a stranger giving me needless advice . . . except maybe iPhones . . .
ReplyDeletePrecisely. Although, I guess I will have to get used to it if more people stumble across my ramblings... We'll see.... There is always the "reject" button :-)
ReplyDeleteI don't preview my comments. I enjoy the fun surprises right along with everyone else. There are no rejects at My 3 Monsters. . . OK, lots of "rejects", but I let them have their moment in the sun. Because I'm generous like that.
