Something lately has been bothering this old(er) broad and I have refrained from making comments because I didn't want to be critical of anyone or stir things up.... but I can't keep quiet anymore.
I'm noticing that some folks in social media make negative references about my hometown and I'm kinda tired of it! This has been a great place to be a kid, a great place to raise kids and will be a great place in which to retire. This city has its challenges, just like every other city in this nation of ours.
The posts that upset me the most usually reference someone who's down on their luck, has made poor life choices, or just haven't had the breaks we all have had. To me, it's a form of "viral bullying"... making fun of someone so you come off like some kind of comedian or appear to be better than they are. Instead of posting what you think are comical photos, videos and comments about people who live here, why not hit your knees and thank God that you're where YOU are in life, instead of where THEY are? And the "Hamiltucky" reference? I think Kentucky's a beautiful state. What's your point?
I really hate being negative...there is so much to be positive about in life... And in this city. I count my blessings every day. One of them is living in a diverse town like this. It takes all kinds...even crotchety old women, like me...
