To all the people I have offended with my views,

I am not sorry for all of the times that my opinions hurt your feelings. I am not sorry because you asked for my opinion, what good would it have been to lie and tell you exactly what you wanted to hear? That would go against all of my morals, and yes I do have morals. But clearly, my morals differ greatly from yours. You would rather be a “good person” and have everyone like you rather than say what is truly on your mind. I’m really not as awful as people think, I’m just willing to say what others are thinking.

Everybody has a right to their own opinion, but not everyone likes to voice it the way I do. I won’t just go around telling everyone my opinion on everything but if someone asks, why should I lie? To please the people around me? No. What does that say about me if I’m willing to change my opinion just because I want to fit in? I don’t know about you, but that is not the kind of person I want to be. So again, I’m not sorry if my opinions offend you or hurt your feelings.

Next time you go to judge someone who is passionate and honest about the way they think or feel, think again. Think about all those times you bit your tongue in front of someone because you didn’t want to offend them or think about the time you acted like you agreed with someone on a topic that you completely disagree with them on. How did you feel? I bet it wasn’t great. Even though you were making someone else happy with your answer, you didn’t make the most important person happy, you. So, really think about it next time you go to judge someone on their opinions. Do you really have the right?

I am not sorry for being brutally honest and I am not sorry if I hurt your feelings with my opinions. I am staying true to myself and my values. Which is a lot more than you can say.

Love,

The girl who is unapologetically honest
