I'm not sure how many of you spend any but a negligible amount of time on MySpace, but I will admit with no apologies or excuses that I am on there quite a bit. I enjoy browsing the profiles of people I have never met and likely never will - I guess I'm a bit of a voyeur.
Sometimes, just when I think I should drop somebody a line because I really like what they've posted, I come across an absolute deal-breaker: the ubiquitous "Why don't they like me?" blog entry.
To clarify - I will happen upon the profile of a person, usually a female in her early to mid twenties, that will absolutely thrill me in that she comes across as the most honest, confident, refreshingly Lilith-esqu beast of a bitch that I have seen in nearly forever. She will blog with aplomb about how she's living life according to her own terms, loving herself and understanding her worthiness, and generally having a great time with who she is, haters be damned.
But then, somewhere, somehow, somebody shakes her confidence. It happens to us all, of course. I understand that not everybody can stand upon their own strength when all seem to be against them. But I am always disappointed to hear that she's gone on the defensive, blogged about how they won't leave her alone, how she's hurt by mere words, mere pixels on a screen.
Although it's probably not my place, I have this to say:
Honey, please, I beg of you, don't try to explain yourself to them! They are always going to lash out against what they are too weak to try to understand. They are content with the same old falsities that they have been spoon-fed by the masses; they see you as a threat because they can't grasp how you can rise above this.
There will always be differences of ideals between people, there is no escaping this point of human nature. The trick is not to let these disparities shake your faith in yourself. We are all stars and we have all been given a chance to shine and a path to follow on this earth. If it is pleasure that you seek and strength that you display, do not feel ashamed. You are closer to enlightenment than they can ever know.
