Haters have been a topic on everyone’s convo list since the dawn of time. Just as much as we all need supporters, we need haters. I think as there is yin and yang, heaven and hell or fat and skinny… there is love and hate. It is all a balance and even though it is hard to understand why we need people to hate on us, it really is to our benefit.
Now, for some unknown reason, I have more haters than most… lol… but I am totally ok with it and this is why…
99.9% of people that hate on me, really have no idea who I am as a person. They have made the decision to hate on me because they don’t approve of my career, lifestyle, weight, cleavage, hair color or just because they caught their man lookin my way, lol… j/k… well, kinda! Maybe someone met me out at an event and felt put off that I didn’t pay them enough attention or because I had a bit too much to drink and was happily over flirtatious… oh, oh… then there is my personal favorite reason that people hate on me… because their friend does, aaahahahahahaha! Seriously folks, when is it time to grow up and leave high school behind?
Even though people find ridiculous reasons to hate on me, I truly don’t mind. I figure if you are lovingly supporting me or viciously hating on me, I am obviously on your mind. In my world, there is no such thing as bad publicity so feel free to talk about me in any fashion you like. I can’t tell you how many times I have had people make an effort to meet me because they heard a group of haters talking about me and had to find out what I was like for themselves.
Haters also help to keep me on my toes. I LOVE a challenge so if someone has something negative to say about me, especially when they don’t know me, I get crazy excited to rise to the occasion! We all need to be pushed at times to step up our game and, for me, haters are a driving force. I also at times enjoy a good story about myself, lol! How many of you have heard a story about yourself that has been completely fabricated? Well, I have and I find it uber amusing because there are so many true stories to tell that I’m flattered someone has taken the time to create one!
Like I said previously, it’s all about balance and as people we need more balance in our lives. So in closing I urge you to embrace your haters and appreciate them for their contribution to the balance in your life. Don’t take anything anyone says about you to heart. If you are a confident individual you already know the truth about yourself so nothing anyone could say or do to you should be able to impact you in a negative way. Take the good out of every situation and leave the rest!
As always, I appreciate all of your love and support… thank you for allowing me to be me!
