Getting In Trouble

I am beginning to learn that my opinions can get me in trouble. I sometimes say things that come to my mind, even though they are offensive. I don't usually care if my opinions bother others because we all are entitled to believe in what we want to believe.


I wasn't always this way. I used to be shy and timid. Nobody would know that by looking at me now, but it is completely the truth. I couldn't imagine being the old Eryn I grew up being. 


I find it odd that I am getting in trouble for my opinions recently, because I am pretty good at biting my tongue if the issue requires me to do so. Maybe my filter has some sort of whole in it that makes every thought I have come out instead of the politically correct thoughts.


I like this stage of my life and I love being in a country that allows me as a woman to have my opinions. I only have one life to live, so I feel that I should make the most of it. Maybe next time I should give myself an extra second or so to think about a nicer way to say things than I originally would.


Maybe I would actually have a friend or two if I did that.
