Important Announcement:

Hey readers.

So, important announcement:

If you do not know the difference between bragging and pride, then please learn what it is. :)

There are many people out there who don't know the difference, and think that whenever you are PROUD of something that YOU have ACCOMPLISHED and worked HARD for, that you are bragging. Even if you state afterwards, "I don't mean to sound like I'm bragging, and I apologize if it sounds like I am."

And another thing, if you're JEALOUS, do not go ruining other people's parades because they are proud. They're not bragging. Guaranteed.

Which reminds me, I heard a story today that I thought I would share.

I tried to stay out of it, but my opinion needs to be stated.

So, a friend of a friend was apparently talking about people behind their backs... Knowing the person somewhat, this honestly didn't surprise me. However, our mutual friend - a really good person - told their friend that if they were going to talk bad about people, not to do it when my friend was around.

So, apparently, friend-of-friend was angry at friend because friend was sticking up for not only her other friends, but also everyone else that friend-of-friend was talking about.

Now, here's the distressing part.
Friend-of-friend got angry! They felt that friend didn't have the right to say that, so friend was upset and went to APOLOGIZE.

Can you believe that?!

I felt so bad for friend, because they shouldn't have been guilted into apologizing, when in my opinion, they did nothing wrong. I didn't realize that encouraging good behaviour and discouraging rude behaviour was something to apologize for.

Remind me to apologize to a lot of people.

Anyway, I'm done ranting for today.
