I&#8217;m perfectly okay with speaking my mind. However, a lot of my opinions tend to be those on the unpopular side &#8211; the side that society doesn&#8217;t really agree with. Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I&#8217;m not gonna shove my beliefs down a person&#8217;s throat just because they believe in the popular opinion; but, I&#8217;ve seen and been in so many situations where people with the popular opinion are somewhat upset because of the difference in beliefs. I mean, honestly, those with unpopular opinions do the same. Which makes me wonder, why won&#8217;t people just let people have their opinions. If it isn&#8217;t racism or prejudice opinions then what does it matter? So what a person likes chocolate and you like vanilla? They literally only stated, &#8220;Hey, I like chocolate.&#8221; not &#8220;If you don&#8217;t like chocolate, I&#8217;ll hurt you.&#8221; If a person says how they feel about something, that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean they want to debate with you. A lot of problems with people today is that we can&#8217;t just learn how to deal and accept that we all have our likes and dislikes. It&#8217;s always &#8216;what I like is right and if you don&#8217;t agree, you suck!&#8217; Like come on, get a grip. We were all made with different DNA to like different things. Does it really make us bad people if some of us don&#8217;t really like sweet or sour things or that we don&#8217;t really celebrate birthdays or that our birthdays are the biggest things we celebrate? No. Why? Well, because in the end, it&#8217;s how <em>you\u00a0<\/em>feel about a certain thing &#8211; not another person.\u00a0So what if your opinion is popular or uncommon? If it makes you happy or if someone else&#8217;s opinion makes them happy, then it should be respected. That&#8217;s my other TED talk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Those who know me know that I am truly a very opinionated person.
