RE: Buttholes And Liars
Woah — first — before I go forward at all, this: “I don’t appreciate you acknowledging I touched on your emotions and skipping out before sharing your free upvote with me. 👍🏿” — what does that mean? My free upvote? Sharing it? Also — you didn’t really touch on my emotions, I don’t think — I can’t quite remember, but this isn’t a topic I’m particularly emotional about. I’m a little shocked right now, or, at least, caught off guard.
I want to try to clarify at least some of the misunderstandings — you and your wife seem to be having a really rough go of it and you both took the time to write such detailed responses. First of all — I don’t really know why this is standing out to me so much, but I definitely didn’t mention UCR to intimidate you. I’m a 34 year old single mother of 3 who carves shells for a living. I’m constantly broke and raising my children in my parents house. I sleep in the same bed I grew up in. I can keep going if you want. If there’s any kind of a competition you definitely win. I mean, a lot of people win against me in that respect.
I think I mentioned UCR, along with the rest of the brief summary of my time in CR as part of an explanation as to why my experience was so different to yours. I didn’t have Costa Rican contacts before I arrived, but I had close friends who were locals by the time I decided to stay. I came in through the backdoor, so to speak. Plus I was single and in my twenties — it’s a different world than when you have a family to look after.
Also — I didn’t think I called you a liar, exactly — I definitely thought I was clear that I didn’t find your post remotely deceitful. I mean, for the record, I did specifically say, twice, I think, that I believe you gave an accurate account of your experience. I just wanted to point out that there are different perspectives and that perspective doesn’t equal truth. I’m brand new to Steemit and I was trying to engage in a meaningful way. This happens to be something I have a meaningful experience with.
Oh — and the butthole and face thing — wait — what? I’m talking out of my ass? Well, now I do feel like an asshole for having responded at all.
Thank you for taking the time to get back to me, I appreciate it. About the voting thing, if you’re really concerned what I’m getting at, I’ll explain it to you but it’s not a big deal—don’t worry about it. I’ll see you around, @ripirate. It’s not too late to say “welcome to Steemit,” it? 😉 Welcome to Steemit! Your kids are lucky to have you.
Don’t. Continue engaging and doing what you do, that’s what this platform is all about—you’re doing great! But you have to expect responses like I left you if you use phrases such as “not fact” and “not true” in reference to an authors material that is fact and is true—“100%.” Have a nice weekend.
