From Under the Elder Tree

Oh, the irony.

My last post was a general “I don’t care about your opinion anymore” post directed at my previous employer and general people who I’ve cared way too much about their opinion.

After thoughtfully reflecting and contemplating about how I let other peoples opinions about me affect me so much, I wrote up that post and committed to myself that I will no longer allow that influence in my life.

Then I started looking at my analytics.

I’m not on social media so I’m not really driven by likes or views. Checking the analytics, I started getting a couple views. Then a couple likes. Then more views, no likes.

I cared very much.

Isn’t it ironic how even though I clearly decided I don’t care about peoples opinions, I still care about their opinion…

The human mind is a fascinating thing and it’s quite humorous. I think we are always going to care and want to be accepted and liked and praised. It takes incredible intention to decide to not engage anymore.

I don’t care about my bosses opinion of me anymore. But I am going to work on still writing content and not get obsessive on what you guys think either.
