I Was Told I Sounded Bitter

Sometimes they say I sound angry

Growing up, my mother used to say,

“If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”

She was and is one sensitive person. I haven’t talked to her in over 5 years. I used to call out her bs and other contradictions. Of course she didn’t like it because she thought I was being “negative”. It’s funny how people in this world are so sensitive. People only want you to say positive, nice things. I don’t know if that’s even possible because everything is not positive and nice all the time. People would rather hear lies than the harsh truth.

When my older sister was starting a business she wanted my support. Well it really wasn’t a business. She joined a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme and wanted me to sign up. I said, no I’m the youngest, in law school struggling to be a lawyer, as my big sister what have you ever done for me, helped me with, or given me? I’m not helping / supporting my older sibling who has done nothing for me. The elders have an obligation not the younger ones that have nothing and been alive less years. To her, I was considered negative and hateful. I call it being logical and real, which is the only way I know how to be.

Anytime you tell the truth or speak your mind about something, you’re mad, you’re angry, you sound bitter. Well guess what? So what? Is there a requirement where people must sound happy all the damn time? People love to be finesses? They love to feel…
