Read My Mistakes on the Internet!

We've all been there.  We've made huge mistakes that have affected our relationships, our bank accounts, perhaps even our lives.  

In the age of the Internet, most of our shit is out there for the world to see...our credit scores and debacles, our flirtation with the opposite sex, that effed up night where we hoisted ourselves on top of the bar and put Miley Cyrus's twerking to absolute shame, our kids stuff, our ex's info, parents details....If there's a will, there's a way to find it. 

How do we want the people around us to perceive us when they find out about the dumb things we've done?  How do we want our Boyfriend or Girlfriend to take some of those details when they find out?

Some of us are smart enough to drop some of those details from jump, so it isn't a surprise to our significant other. No, we don't give you all the details, but you know the basics and you know it's there. 

Others of us hide in secrecy and shame...worried that we won't be forgiven, or won't be understood.  And the sad part is...most of the time that's true. Sometimes you just make an effing mistake, or two...or three, and that's what it is.  You'd do anything to take it back and change it, but you can't. Do your friends, relatives or lovers have the right to judge you? Could they have done better? Have they never been at that point in their lives? 

At some point, it's up to each and every individual to make their own decisions as to how they want to handle the information you've shared with them, and the information they've found out on their own. 

I won't lie...I can be just as judgmental as the next person, but I try not to be. I've done some really fucked up things in the past. I've made some serious mistakes and I've really hurt people. All I can hope is that my friends, family, lover and anyone else will see my heart for what it truly is. 

You will find out things about me on the Internet. I'm vocal, opinionated, conservative and God only knows what else. I can promise that you won't like everything you find out about me and to be honest...as far as I know...I wasn't put on this earth to make you like me. I already know I've pissed off the "Gods" and they have made me pay, so any judging you do about me is on you. 

All I can do is to stop and take time to think objectively about the things I find out, the things you tell me and if I have serious concerns about these things...to approach you and discuss them rationally.  Quite frankly, you may tell me it's none of my fucking business, and I have to be ok with that. If I'm not, then I have decisions to make. Other than that..... Only a perfect person can cast the first stone....
