Kaitlyn Droba, person with an opinion

Recently, I have developed a very strong opinion about something. My opinion is so significant that it causes me to stay awake most nights. This is not one of those passing “Oh, yeah, I suppose I agree with that” opinions. No, this is a strong, unshakable opinion. My opinion has changed the way I live my daily life. It has caused me to stare at walls and just think, “Wow. I have been completely entranced by my opinion.” This started out as a passing thought, but now, it is one of the only things I think about. I can rarely go a moment without thinking about this matter. I have completely and utterly succumbed to this thought.

It has reached a point where nearly every aspect of my life is being controlled by my opinion. Almost everything I do revolves around my stance on this pressing matter. I can barely do anything other than think about my opinion. When I first took this thought into consideration, I thought it was going to be a momentary thought, but now I truly cannot escape it. Nearly anything I do transforms into something involving this idea of mine. Simple tasks are no longer simple because they will inevitably be taken over by this overwhelming idea of mine. 

If I didn’t have this opinion, my days would be spent staring at walls, but not in the reflective and productive way I already do. No, it’s more in a watching paint dry kind of way. I believe my life would hold no meaning without this opinion. My opinion gives me the strength to get through each day. I get out of bed each day and go stare at my wall, reflecting on and analyzing my opinion. 

What I find fascinating is how my opinion finds a way to come up in conversations, even when it is not relevant at all. I don’t mean to push my opinion onto other people, but my opinion wants to be distributed. My opinion needs to be shared with the world. I cannot go a day without having a discussion with other people about it. I truly believe that everybody should hear my opinion.

I know that opinions are not facts, but I believe in this one so strongly that I just cannot accept that it may be false. So I have decided that my opinion, and only my opinion, is correct. The more I think about it, the more I believe that my opinion on this matter is obviously correct. I can verify this based on my previous track record of opinions, which have consistently been correct. I have, time and time again, backed ideas that prove later on to be true, or at least strongly credible, and I expect this situation to be no different than in the past. 

I know there are people who will somehow disagree with my opinion, despite my opinion being very much correct. I have tried to look at it from a different perspective, and I can understand the alternative idea, but it is undoubtedly incorrect. Regardless of my stance, it is important to look at other opinions out there and educate yourself on these matters, even if some opinions —my opinion— are better than others.
