I tend to over-share on facebook just a wee bit (go ahead, laugh at my understatement). I mean, I share some personal stuff. I talk about my kids and dogs quite abit. I joke about our misfortunes and link like a madwoman when I don’t feel like posting about what’s actually going on in our lives.

But one thing I don’t do is share politics. Not here, not on FB, not anywhere. Why? Allow me to ‘splain.

The honest truth is that my beliefs are personal. Whether it be political or spiritual or other, they are my thoughts and my thoughts alone. I think I inherited my tendency to be non-confrontational from my mother. I just don’t like to rock the boat.

That’s not to say I don’t have opinions, because I do. Very solid opinions on some pretty heavy-duty topics. I have some beliefs I hold dear. I just like to keep them to myself. I’m not argumentative (go ahead, laugh again, people who know me IRL). I am not a debater. I like to think about things over and over in my head, research and read tons, formulate my own opinion.

I just don’t like to be argued with, see.

Or trifled with.

Come to think of it, I don’t like Trifle.

Or Tripe.

Where was I again? Right. Food!

No, not food. Politics and beliefs. RIGHT!

While I love a good argument once in a while, the truth is that I’m too emotionally fragile to get caught up in debating certain topics. I cannot currently separate my feelings enough to debate things without taking it personally. So I don’t debate. Instead, I stick to food, dogs, kids, you name it. And I joke about shiz. And I let other people post the controversial stuff.

So when I say I’m a delicate flower? I mean it, ok?
