So, I have this irritant. It's one of those things that gets under my skin. That thing is judgment, and frankly I'm sick of it.
Point: My actions have no right in your mouth to come out as judgment. I don't care how you believe, in each doctrine, faith, creed, whatever, they teach you to not judge(as far as I am concerned). It's a commandment in Christianity and I realize that I, too, am guilty of this, but I am actively working on it. Not that it's any of your business, thank you very much. I understand the need to look at someone you care about and say, "Wow you're gonna regret that", or "Wow, I wish you wouldn't do that". What I do, is between me, and my Creator. Just because I make it known, does NOT mean that you can say whatever you want to me. I don't really care who you are to me. If I want your opinion, I will ask. That makes me sound like a bitch, but you know what, it's the truth. If I come to you trying to(as I put it) "bounce some ideas off of you", then that is when you are permitted to tell me how you feel. I am sick and tired of being criticized for MY LIFE. I am an adult, although I sound like a pissy teenager right now, and I need to make my own way. No, I have no idea what I'm doing, but neither did you at my age, and if I want to know about how you got through it, I will ask.
I realize I am 22, and stupid, because if a 22 year old isn't making stupid decisions, said young adult isn't living in reality. With that being said, the only thing that is helping me keep my head, is the Serenity Prayer. If you don't know it, here it is, and say it with me:
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Until next time, peace and love
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
