Dear Person Trying To Kill My Vibe,

Why? Are you so miserable with your daily life that you find it completely necessary to cast shade over someone else's parade? Yes, I say parade because I tend to feel like, on my good days, I am parading around, sharing the joy I'm experiencing with all who will join. Did you feel left out? Parades are not invitation only. You're absolutely welcome to join in on the festivities. I am friendly and would gladly embrace your presence with positive vibes.

What will not be welcomed is a negative attitude. Like when I say, ”Good morning," and you say, "What's so good about it?" Well, the sun came up, there is still oxygen for us to breathe, you are alive and you can still sometimes buy a cup of coffee for 99 cents. Please, pick one! Yes, we all know that person against the wall at the parade, complaining because they haven't caught anything. You never will with that kind of attitude. A little effort doesn't cost a thing. Are you the kind of person who seems to think the world owes you something or that you're better than everyone else? You don't have to admit it, because I know you won't. Just know that I can tell by the things you do and the way you treat others. It isn't cool. No one wants to be around someone that makes them feel inferior.

In all reality, if you feel superior to others at all, you probably aren't. We're all equal and the best people understand that. They wouldn't make someone else feel less than them. Some people may make better decisions than others, or know more important people, which may put them in superior positions. That doesn't make them better people. Our actions and the way we treat others is a reflection of who we are, not our status or position in society. Some of the worst people in the world have all they could ever want, and some of the best people have nothing.

Life isn't about quantity, it's about quality, and I want to be around people who see that, too. The people you surround yourself with make a huge impact on who you are, no matter how much we don't want to admit it.

So surround yourself with people who truly understand you. There's no greater treasure in life. I love being around people who are authentic. If you want to know something, ask me! I enjoy indulging in deep and honest conversations with people, even if it's only to satisfy their curiosity. I don’t mind telling you why I think or feel a certain way, and would love some feedback on your views even more. Everyone will judge you, so be realistic and bring it to me real. That's what being an adult is about, learning to handle the truth. As long as we can still be cool and have a good time after all is said and done, the parade will persist. If you can't offer an opinion, respectfully without killing my vibe, goodbye.
