Vent Attack

Commence the bitchiest blog you will probably ever read thus far from me.

I have to go on a vent attack for a minute, hear me out.
I received all kinds of flak for my blog on crunchy parenting and people took my words out of context.

No, not all crunchy parents are rude. There are crunchy parents and helicopter parents who are perfectly amazing in every aspect. They are the ones who do their parenting silently. They don't boast or brag about their methods or try to push it on their new mom friends. They are the ones who just parent because .... parenting. I don't know any other way to say it other than that.
My words were twisted from my page and were made out like I hated crunchy parents. I don't. I just don't appreciate having views pushed on me.

That being said, people have since deleted me from their social media outlets and made sly remarks thinking I wouldn't be able to hear about them from other sources. You know, the typical gossip that is Facebook. Just a bunch of over protective over hormonal mothers wanting to rip my guts out and shove it in my face. What else is new?

First of all, how rude!
Second, how dare you try to be spiteful when I gave a disclaimer in the first place. My blog, my opinion, my life.
If you don't like what I post them step off of my page. Don't try to coyly bash me in every other post you make.

Third, being that this is my blog and I can freely express what I like, I typically just go balls out with no filter. I have always been a shoot from the hip type of gal and though I may step on some toes or even put my foot in my mouth at times, I can't hide my feelings. They are just genuine.

I sit for days sometimes writing and re-writing my words to try to convey them at the best of my abilities (except for in this case where I am just writing to get my frustration out).
I pour my heart out and type away with my fat fingers.
The one thing I love is when I see people agree with my post or at least give it a thumbs up.
Throw some appreciation at your girl!
But seriously, the feelings man. I smile when ya'll tell me you like my words. #motivation

One thing I simply will not stand for, however, is plagiarism. You can dislike me all you want but if you take something that I poured my love and passion in to, that is where I draw the line. Of course, someone would go and copy cat my blog about being graduated from high school for five years. Great minds just DO NOT think alike in this instance. They may as well have just copied and pasted the whole damn blog. My words are literally on their page. Great! They feel the same way and that is flattering that I could invoke such response. But it is legit plagiarism and I am one hella pissed off blogger right now.

Exhibit A

Who is God's creation gave you permission to draw up such a paragraph? I am sure many other people have blogs out in the world about being graduated from high school. It is not like my post was the most original thing out there as far as the subject goes. That much I am sure as shit aware of. But taking the same words? Bitch bye! You need to come up with something more heart felt. Stop taking someone else's words and trying to pass them off as your own. Just because I don't stalk you on the daily does not mean my blog followers will not tell me when you are a copy cat. I can't see what you post but I sure as hell know about it from the grapevine honey.

I don't appreciate it at all and I have to let it be known. Theft is theft and there is no way to try to get around the subject. 
Please ask me next time you would like to use my work and maybe I will agree. A little shmoozing goes a long way and after being friends for so long, you should know that I love when people can flower off of my idea and turn it in to a great masterpiece. 

Seriously guys, I appreciate all of the love from the followers and the comments and messages after publishing a post is wonderful. Let's just kill the plagiarism and give credit where credit is due.

Sincerely,
(one bitter but feeling better) Nystrom
