Starburst.

A friend of mine recently was was in a conversation and I was eavesdropping on Facebook.  Her friend had posted a picture of a mug that said Don't be a yellow starburst.  Now.  Apparently my friend's favorite starburst is the yellow so she went into a discussion about how she prefers the yellow and the mug was not accurate so of course it got me to thinking.

I had to pick up my daughter about 30 min away from my house and I had funk breath.  The only thing that was in the car that was viable for breath support was a pack of Starburst minis leftover from Halloween.  No, I hadn't cleaned out my car in awhile and yes...I'm glad I hadn't no one wants to meet and greet with funk breath.....I'm off topic.

I started with the red ones because they are my personal favorite.  I then ate the pink ones as is customary because the red and pink are in my opinion the best ones.  I decided this time however to try the yellow and the orange.  I started with yellow.  Not bad.  I then tried orange.  Nope.  Not ever gonna like the orange, and therein is my topic for today's post.

It doesn't matter a hill of beans that I don't like the orange or that the yellow isn't my favorite it doesn't mean I am better because I like the red ones it just means I like something different and if you ask me it works out better this way because we can each have the flavor we like without stepping on any toes.  I decided that she and her friend along with me and some freak (and by freak I of course mean totally normal individual who has the right to like whatever they want!) that likes orange would make the perfect team!

Do not assume because someone likes things that you don't that this factor makes them wrong.  It just makes them different.  It's ok to be different.  Turkey for dinner is nice. Turkey by itself every night for dinner gets old.  Celebrate the differences that others have.  Enjoy the variety.  Go out....Be kind.
