3. Made a list a few years ago...

...decided I was going to write down the names of every non-heterosexual person in my life who hurt me because they weren't heterosexual.

The final list included 0 names.

I have a pretty reliable rule when it comes to how other people live their lives.

If no one is getting hurt and no laws are being broken, what they do with their lives is none of my damned business.

And unless they are messing with me or someone I care about, if they are breaking the law, that's why we have "law enforcement."

I am far from a perfect person, but I will unashamedly take a victory lap for never attempting to tell other people how to live their lives.

PART OF THIS might come from my reaction to more than a few people who tried to "FIX" me at times in my life where I either did not NEED "fixing" or CERTAINLY didn't need it from THEM.

Life's too short to live up to the expectations of, and under the rule of, people who could very well NEVER GET THEIR OWN ACT TOGETHER.
