Hey news reporter! You, Mr. Lou Bloom, over there!!
What are your intentions exactly?? What is it that you have against my
husband?!
It’s obviously not the time he took Christmas presents to
your neighbor’s grandkids because they would have went without that year or the
time he risked all he had to save that gal from her abusive boyfriend. Or
not even that time that he cradled that toddler on that dirt driveway and gave
him CPR long after he knew he had been given his wings. Those times were
not newsworthy I guess. Those times don’t matter.
In all honesty, I feel sad for you. What must it be
like to seek out the ugly all the time? How does one feel after twisting and manipulating situations so that they make good people look bad. Are you proud of your
“accomplishments”? Is this what you want your children to be surrounded
by? To believe that this world is made up of nothing but evil?
I was asked if I heard about the #McKinney incident. No, I
hadn’t really. Not because I do not care but because I refuse to
empower those who prey on society with psychological manipulation. I don’t watch your stories. I don’t listen to your
stories. If I wanted to be put in a crappy mood, I would put down a
tub of Rocky Road, slap on a swimsuit and stand in front of a mirror. At
least with that I would be able to experience those moments of amazing while
stuffing my face.
I will tell you one thing with absolute certainty. You
will not destroy mine or my children’s spirit. I will protect them from
your distorted version of the truth. If they want to know the truth they
will have to seek it themselves. I know that by giving you my time I only
empower you. My energy and time will be committed to speaking good things
about the good people that surround me. But with all this said…I can’t
fix you. I CAN fix me, however.
Let me say this to my friends, if you don’t give them your
time, then they don’t have anybody to feud with and what is the fun in
that?! We are giving them their power.
Have you ever been told that you are the company you
keep? You don’t want that kind of company. Don’t surround yourself
with ugly. Nobody wants to be ugly…
I will challenge myself to refrain from reading/watching your trash and instead seek out uplifting stories and share those. Maybe over time our friends reputation will be where it deserves to be, right alongside our other local heroes.
