The web is forever

I sometimes think people do not think when they post things on the web. Or when they step in front of a camera. I myself am very careful what I post and what pics I put here. Maybe some pics are not very good of me but at least I won't hate myself years down the road. But if I decide to pose for a pic like the one below and have the audacity to post it...shoot me please! I deserve it. I wonder what in tarnation was going thru her mind when she posed for this..let alone what made her make it public. I guess some people will do anything for a lark huh?

Or drugs or booze, or just plain nuts.

FOREVER on the Internet......

True the internet is not a forgiving place. Any mistake, misstep, or misstatement will be forever here for anyone (and everyone) to read. I thought this was the lesson to be learned with a title such as "The Web Is Forever" There is much greater lesson to be learned from your post which I feel is a very important one. No reason to hate oneself years down the road. But truly, to have the audacity to be a bully and yet post it...
You wonder what in tar-nation was going through her mind when she posed for this..
let alone what made her make it public?

The answer to your question: “We’re not going to let others decide that our uniqueness isn't valuable, and we’re not going to decide for others what their normal should look like either.” We humans try awfully hard to be “normal”, even to the point of not being ourselves. What makes it such a bad idea to embrace that weirdness and stop hiding who you are?
I would guess that was going through her mind when she posed for this and made it public was that her individuality never battles; it is never puffed up; it is never governed by likes and dislikes and never causes them in others.
It wouldn't be a bad idea to try and understand, to cultivate a habit of thinking and affirming whenever you approach any persons post and the type of personality that comes along with it, however strong and aggressive, that it should not have the power to throw you off your most perfect poise.
However humble your place in life, however unknown to the world you may be, however small your capabilities may seem at present to you, you just as everyone else are a necessity to this ever crazy strange world. Remember this always, and act from the highest within you.
