Dear Will, I read what you said and I want you to know that I think its sad. I think its really sad that you think Im less of a person because Im apparently liberal and that I would respect you more if I werent married. My husband offers me no social security. If I dont like someone, I say so whether Im in a relationship or not. And thats because I know who I am and what I think and Im not afraid to speak out without a man to protect me. That little girl you remember who could survive hard knocks isnt here anymore. You know why? Because she couldnt hack it. Lets be real with each other for a second: You never knew me. We were in ROTC together and I seemed like a nice girl. I dated your friend Greg and talked to you sometimes during/after class or school and apparently, having done those things makes you an expert on my personality at the time. If you really remembered me, youd remember me questioning things, wearing a red band on my arm to protest the war because I wanted the troops to come home. If you really remembered me, youd remember that I wore black a lot and read a lot and that one of the books I carried around a lot was The Federalist I bet youve never read those articles and I bet I know more about what this country was founded on than you do. I also bet Im more of a patriot than you because my idea of this country and of Freedom isnt biased by a party. Im not a democrat, Im not a republican. Im not tea party and Im not libertarian. Nor am I part of any other party out there that has created its own little niche in the market. Yes, I said market. Im party-less and Im proud. Please understand that I didnt just get mad and unfriend you. Im tired of seeing your single-minded viewpoint all the time but I can hack that. Everyone has different opinions. I have all kinds of political stuff from different parties coming through my feed because I have friends from all parties and all walks of life. And do you know why that is? Because I accept everyone as long as they accept me. But youve gone too far this time. I dont feel like you accept me. I feel like I set there as a name on your friend list and when you see something I post, you ignore it until I say something you dont like. Then you came at me with these passive-aggressive comments or just downright hateful passages about gays for instance. This is a free space for me. My Facebook isnt a place for your negativity. My Facebook is a place where I pick and choose what energy comes across my feed and if I dont like it, I shut it out because its not something I have to deal with. If you want to be hateful, do it on your own Facebook and on your own time. If you want to believe what you believe, do so but dont attack me because I believe differently than you. I am all about coexisting. I think that if a bunch of people werent out there arguing all the time, there wouldnt be so much hate floating around for our youth to absorb and become awful people. You and people like you are the reason this country cant change, the reason this country isnt a land full of free thinkers and without religious persecution. I wont address everything you said because Im not going to explain myself to you or defend myself from your seemingly harsh words. Im not going to tear you down and Im not going to put wild conjecture out there about why I think you are a hateful person. Im just going to say that I unfriended you because someone who is so hateful doesnt deserve my time. I hope you see where Im coming from one day but until then, go ahead and hate me. I can take it. Have a nice life, William Burleson and thank you for reminding me why I choose so carefully who my friends are.
