Judgemental

I can be very judgemental at times. I know this about myself, and I accept it. I can't say that it is something that I'm working on because really, it is just who I am.
When you are my friend, I love you fiercely, and I would do anything to protect you. However, if you hurt me, I can be angry and vengeful with equal ferocity. At the same time, I get over things quickly. My emotions are worn all over me, and I'm not good at hiding what I'm thinking or feeling.
I guess the reason why I am spilling all of this out is because I often say what I'm thinking or write it out. It's not that I don't think before I speak; that's not it. I do think about it, and what comes out is what I truly feel. I know that I can hurt people sometimes, but I would expect those close to me to tell me when I'm doing something stupid.
My mom asked me once why I have a blog, and she commented the other day that I wouldn't put all of this out on the internet if I didn't want people to read it. I guess that's true. I have this blog to vent, and to connect to others who are venting. When I post about things that are happening, I expect people to comment, either favorably or inauspiciously. I don't expect everyone to agree with me. That would be silly. But I do hope that, whether you agree with me or not, you keep coming back. Dialogue is what makes people think, and that is so effing important.
Peace Out,
Mom

I'm totally judgmental and I don't think there is anything wrong with it. I mean, if we didn't judge right from wrong, what would our world be like.
I also, don't mind being judged.
Everyone is judgmental to a degree. What I have learned, the hard way, is that often times, until you are in a particular situation, you have no damn clue what it is like. This has softened my judgments of others quite a bit!
I have lived through a lot. Most of which people don't know. So yah, I have a pretty good idea. Also, it is not about trying to hurt anyone. It's about the discussion and learning. The life and experiences that I am pooling from is pretty rough...divorce, abortion, adoption, ex-husband in the pen, homelessness, spousal abuse, welfare, and racism, to name a few. I am not condemning anyone for their choices, believe me. However, there is ALWAYS another way of looking at things.
