"calm down"
*disclaimer* this is not entirely based on tonight’s discussion, I’ve been thinking about this for a long time, but it did spark something in me.
Tonight I almost got into a good discussion but I was not allowed to continue. I don’t understand having strong beliefs or beliefs at all if you do not share them. I long for a heated debate. And I don’t understand being worried about someone getting mad or upset. If we are truly friends then why should it matter? I want to be able to yell at someone and ten minutes later be laughing with them. We are adults and we should be able to see the benefits of sharing our views, you get to know more about each other, you get to understand yourself and your beliefs more, you learn. I’m tired of this “PC” existence. I’m tired of being told to calm down. I know I’m not the only one who is bursting to care deeply about something and share it with the world. I want a fight. I want to understand what, why and how I think better. I want to grow closer to my friends. No more “fluff,” I want the real stuff. I miss being passionate about things, and when I get passionate/”upset” someone is always telling me to calm down. no more. I’M SICK OF BEING CALMED DOWN.
ANYWAY
Tonight was fun
Good times at the opera
Good times at theater prom dressed as a homeless person :) (sorry I suck at dances)
Good last day of classes
