I hate people who measure the love they give or receive quantitatively.
I also hate it when people think I am close-minded or was "sheltered" or "deprived" as a child just because as an adult I have some "traditional" beliefs about some things. I am a religious person. I don't label myself, but I know what I believe. I've tryed living without religion, but that doesn't work...for me. Having faith in a higher power fills that void in my life that other people choose to fill with success, status, drugs, material possessions, or whatever makes them happy. That is just my faith. Mine. I don't force it on other people. In fact, a lot of people probably don't know how religious I am because it is a very personal thing to me.
I do, however, consider myself pretty open-minded and I definitely respect and understand other peoples beliefs and points of view. And although I let people walk all over me for a lot of things, I do NOT make apologies for my beliefs.
Let me have mine without ridicule and I'll do the same for you.
That's been in my head for the past few days and I just had to say it. Okay.
