today my mother told me she was glad i haven't been posting on my blog lately. she fears that something not necessarily "politically correct" will come out. i thought that was an irrational fear until i began writing my last five (now deleted) posts. they started with phrases such as: "seriously? get over yourself." "warning: do not read if you're the jealous type." and "i hate girls." in the process of writing all these hateful posts, i realized that i need to get over it. i guess i just need to be the bigger person. relax, take a breath, and realize that i only have eight more months with these humans. calm down brittani, breathe. {i just took a really deep breath. i'm trying to keep this all rational.}
action plan:
1. i will never say anything about my accomplishments at an athletic practice again. even if it is something i have worked for my entire life. like committing to the university of utah. this always ends badly.
2. when someone asks how my weekend was, i will reply, "fine." this is the safest response and usually doesn't elicit a negative rumor spread. (although people are very tricky and may still find a way to twist my response negatively.)
3. when someone texts me something rude, i will not respond. no matter what the mean person says, they don't even deserve a response.
4. i will keep to myself. i will never talk about my ideas, fun activities, or boys. i will never ask anybody how they are doing.
5. i will not get bugged when people are talking behind my back, i don't care. i really, really, don't care. people who talk behind my back are not the people i want in my life anyways. so who cares? not me. i do not care. i do not care.
hope that doesn't start a rumor. oh heck, what am i thinking? it will.
was that rational? yes.
