One man's laughter is another man's tears. There's not a post in the world ever written that someone somewhere wouldn't feel/ see/ say the opposite. I've grown up with the hard knocks as a 60's baby, not the delicate life of the 1990's onwards. That said, it's good that you try to consider everyone. More people should be considering the two sides - the bigger picture. All I'm saying is don't beat yourself up as even if you said "I love red roses, they're the best" someone somewhere will have had an horrific experience and hate the comment. That said, your story hear is touching, heartfelt and real so thank you.
