We’re human after all. We’re allowed to change our mind and our goals. With no explanation. Recently a blogger I follow decided to start selling a supplement line. The criticism she received was ridiculous. It actually made me sad. As bloggers we put ourselves out there. We understand we will be judged for some of our decisions. We will have people support us or turn their backs. We get that. We accept it.
But what we should not accept is the cruelty people give off. As humans we should be kind. As women we should empower one another, not cut each other down.
I have one thing to say to those who want to criticize others or criticize me for that matter –
It’s okay to do whatever the hell you want with your life. If you want to change your mind then you have every right to do so.
Who are we to judge one another? Why do we feel the need to cut someone down or ruin their day? What does that do for us?
I realize being a blogger makes you open to hear other’s opinions – good or bad. I’m all for it. I really don’t mind hearing what someone else has to say, but I want it to be constructive. If you don’t like something I’m doing or a change a blogger is making then offer a suggestion. If you have the balls to tear someone a new one then you better have the guts to offer a solution.
Let’s be honest, I’m not the same woman I was when I started this blog years ago. The blog has changed directions, I’ve changed and I’m proud of those changes. I don’t want to be standing in the same spot all of my life. Standing still can be boring. I want to grow, learn more and experience life.
I would hope other bloggers and readers feel the same way.
Let’s support one another, not try to hurt each other.
