Standing Up For Yourself And Your Intrests

Hi all you followers of the CAB Blog out there. Yes, I am back from my February hiatus. It was a busy month for me so I had to take a break, so I apologize for that. In this post though I want to talk about something besides traveling. I figured I needed to get this off my chest and I'm up for changing things up occasionally haha. I want to talk about standing up for what you believe in, and what you're passionate about. These two things are extremely important in life because without them, there would be no diversity in our thoughts and we would all think the same things. The reason I am randomly bringing this up is because about a month ago during January and even before that a little, I was going through some what of a rough time with the blog. One of my friends would tell me that this blog wasn't good enough and that it "sucked" and had "terrible grammar". One day he and another friend were reading it, almost mocking it. I can't tell if they had that intent to mock it or not but it seemed so. Throughout all this I basically sat there and let this friend of mine tell me that my blog was bad and I let him do this. I did not stand up for myself or for what I believe in. Looking back on it, I should have. I needed to stand up for it, because the blog is my passion. It feels like the one place I can go to and just share my experiences with the world, and for a couple months my friend was ruining that for me. Friends are supposed to support you, not put you down. He made me feel like no on read this blog, which is not the case. Even if it's only people I know reading it, those people are still people that are my true friends and family and they support me in what I do and they are there fro me when I am in the dumps. They don't put me down about the things I love to do. This friend that I have may not know how much I enjoy this blog, but if he makes fun of it again, i'll make sure he knows how much effort and my own time I put into this blog. Sorry for the rant everyone but the lesson here is, stand up for what you believe in and love and when people are putting you down about those things, then they may not be worth your time. But I want all of you to know that no matter what anyone says, keep doing what you love, and stick with it in good times and bad. Thank you.
