Do You Own Hallmark?!

Holy crap, I am so sorry! I didn't know that you owned Hallmark and you were the Commissioner allotted to regulate who can and can not celebrate which holidays. My apologies to you.

You're joking right?! Almost all of the holidays anyone "celebrates" are made up and/or amplified by Hallmark and others so far beyond their true meanings that you're not even sure why you're celebrating it. Beyond that, learn to share because you sound like a five year old on the playground when you whine and cry about how it's "your holiday". Or better yet, play passive-aggressive on social media. It's kind of a prime example of what's wrong with society these days. Everyone is so easily offended and so quick to jump on one another, everyone is always on the attack and always looking for an argument. 

For Father's Day this year, just as I do for Mother's Day and each of those every year; I gave a quick appreciation to single mothers. On Mother's Day, I don't forget to appreciate single fathers as well. And per usual, there are always those that are so completely offended by my personal feelings that they must call, text, and/or comment. Be what it may, they're allowed to, but for heaven's sake, shut up already! I have so many adult friends who have a hard time with Father's Day (same goes the other way for Mother's Day) who have lost a parent so to celebrate the day it's incredibly hard for them. I have many friends who grew up without fathers at all in their lives so for them, the day celebrates their moms who were always there no matter what, or grandma/aunt, what have you. My nieces will forever be fatherless on Father's Day since my brother died and I know as they continue to grow, the day won't just be painful for them but they'll use it to celebrate their mom whom they still have. I also watch fathers get up and walk out on their children but go on to be a father figure to other children, mothers too I see doing the same thing. 

Again, it's a really stupid thing to get worked up about especially since being a parent you should be thanked and appreciated every single day and not have to feel entitled and greedy with only one single day. I won't hold my tongue, censor my thoughts, or feel suppressed just because you're indignant over a flipping holiday. Which baby's momma did you wrong? 

Carry on folks, you do you and continue to love, honor, and appreciate each other. Don't allow the insecurities of others to hold you down from being the goodness that the world is lacking today.
