I have seen a lot of "real" profiles, as some of them like to call themselves, writing about profiles like mine (which they love to call "fakes") and making rather broad assumptions about the kind of person I am and about my character in general, since I "am not honest about who I am".
Me, personally, at first I just let it slide by, I stuck my fingers in my ears and started humming one of my favorite songs and pretended they weren't being so judgmental...I mean after the whole "Silver" incident who wouldn't be a little jaded right?
But now I am done. Its just not right and its just not fair for those of you out there acting like that to make such a broad assumption about all of us who chose not to show our true faces on an every day basis.
Let me start with this is my MySpace dammit...I didn't invite you to it, (with a few choice exceptions that already knew and liked me
) and I didn't ask you to come in and look around. Although I appreciate every person that visits myspace and who reads my blogs I never forced you to or asked you to, please don't act like I did.
This is the one place in this world where I have truly been accepted for just being me, for saying whatever I want, think and feel. I can truly just "be" and for once really find some support and happiness.... My life isn't perfect and my family and "real life" friends aren't either, if they were to read most of this or even know most of this stuff about me they wouldn't even talk to me anymore, (believe me I have tested them on occasion and its scary how fast I would become ousted). This is my created world or "bubble" if you prefer where I can just let it all flow out.
I have made countless friends and acquaintances that have given me the support and encouragement that I need every day that I am not getting elsewhere. Call me pathetic, call it whatever you like, but realize that it makes me happy and that was the point in the first place...
I am not writing any of this, nor did I post my profile, to deceive anyone or to make anyone think I am not who I say I am, more to the point this profile is more true then anything I could post of the so-called "real life" me.
So call me whatever you like, but realize that this isn't about you and therefore you really shouldn't be judging people left and right. I love and truly care for every person that I have really come to know since I have put up these blogs, I have several new friends that care about me just the way I am, funny enough they respected my right to be a little anonymous, and they cared about me without having to see a picture or know anything more about my life then I chose to share.
They take me at face value, what I say is what I mean, and that is 100% true.
So there is my little silly rant for the weekend, I hope it makes at least one person reconsider us "fake" profiles...have a great rest of your weekend everyone.
