sugar and opinions.

so. tackling things in order. well... actually now that i think about it, there's an overlap.

sugar:
i'm a sucker for sweet things. and not sweet things in terms of sugary things, but sweet things like sappy romantic things. such as this facebook comment conversation with my cousin:
him: guess what? shes wrong!!!!!
(you ARENT my mother but shes wrong about me saying that)

me: lool i really hope i'm not your mother. that'd be icky. :(

also, guess what? I MISS YOUR FACE

him: guess what? your face is in a tiny box next to your name so i can see it even though youre far far away :D

you get the gist. i was all warm and fuzzy inside because number one--it's an amazing feeling when you know people miss you slash need you and number two--he's just a sweet kid. well... when he's not being a crazy weirdo (which is about 97% of the time). 

which somehow leads into my second point. 

opinions: somehow in workshop, we have to sugarcoat them. we can't be mean about them as this post said and also people who are mean and jerkfacey should just stop because nobody needs it. in fact, if you didn't complain and simply gave a reason why you disliked said thing and then a way to improve it, then it would be fine. kinda. 

but yeah. opinions. we are all entitled to them 

so... your opinion. the writer values it, but sometimes if it's too vicious, hold it back. we are all entitled to our own opinions, meaning the writer is entitled to his slash her own opinion as well. so don't go around holding your head high and thinking you're the only right person in the world--this leads to conflict which is just bad and leads to drama that nobody wants to get into. so if and when you feel a snarky slash mean opinion cross your mind, run "king of anything" through your head and think again.
