Well, maybe not ever, but the people that know me well also know that backing down from a decision I've made just doesn't happen.
I admit when I'm wrong and I always apologise. I make it a point to do that because nothing winds me up more than arguing with someone and they figure out I was right all along and then... NOTHING! It's as though the debate never took place and that's the way they'd always thought...
Still, if they can sleep at night... :)
Back in November, I started with a toothache. As a Ginger, (apparently) I'm susceptible to sensitive teeth (I only learned that recently). So the toothache took its toll, but I knew it wasn't toothache, this was something different.
I figured it would go away on its own. It didn't, it got worse. The ache made its way into my upper teeth and slowly began to make my jaw ache (both top and bottom) on my right side. It got so bad, I went to the doctor. I NEVER like going to the doctor and I hope anything I have heals itself... I know... smart, huh?
I didn't get to see a Doc, I saw a nurse practitioner. She missed my point completely. I told her my symptoms - toothache that wasn't toothache because pain doesn't spread like it had, jaw ache and spreading up to my ear - oh joy! Earache, my nemesis!
She told me to go to the dentist... Nope, not gonna. Her reasoning was that I should get an X-Ray done... I'm sorry, what?
Anyway. The pain increased and I ended up going to the after-hours Doc at the hospital - antibiotics prescribed.
I have had EVERY cold, cough, sniffle and plague (OK, again, maybe not plague) since the beginning of November and you know what? It wears a body down.
I allowed certain circumstances to get the better of me last week and instead of shrugging it all off and saying "Meh, their problem, not mine, screw'em!" I allowed it to affect me and I backed off from something I've enjoyed for months.
I resigned from Steemit and I shouldn't have.
Yesterday, I asked my friends if they would do me a favour. The results are Here
Not only the blogs, but the messages on steemitchat and discord, the messages on Facebook and Twitter and especially the messages, not just on my blog, but on the blogs of everyone of my friends that posted.
I'm doing that 'U' Turn.
I'm admitting I was wrong and stroppy, obstinate, obstrocculous, pig-headed and stubborn.
And I'm grateful.
Thanks. I really appreciate the efforts made and... one last thing...
