I think a lot about offending people.
I worry about it all of the time.
I just want people to like me.
I caught myself thinking, 'Fuck it'
I can say whatever, post whatever.
Another voice chimed in though.
It said, if you do that you won't have any followers at all.
And that ladies and gentlemen is when I knew I'd fucked up.
Majorly.
If I hold back the opinions that the world won't like what good am I but a puppet?
The Bible says broad is the gate and wide is the path to damnation.
The road to hell is the easiest surpassed.
So here I am now.
At the fork in the road.
Do I speak my truth and lose my friends?
Or do I keep quiet and walk with the world?
