Haters drive me nuts.

Seriously.  What drives one to be a hater?

I mean the people who go out of their way to say "you suck" to someone just because they're not perfect.

YouTube is unfortunately one of the biggest communities I've ever seen of haters.  It's strange... odd... that people spend their time seeking out videos to diss.

When you were young, you were probably told this simple truth: "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all".

What ever happened to that mindset?  Have we seriously raised a generation of people who have no understanding of what it is to build one another up rather than tear eachother down?

I mention YouTube because I have a friendly little channel there which I use to outlet my passion for singing.  It's called RobbieSings4u.  You may or may not notice, but nowhere on that page do I ever specify that I think I'm all that.  I do not say anywhere in the text that I'm awesome, or that I think I'm better than everyone else.  So why then, do I constantly have to delete comments posted by haters?

It breaks my heart when someone posts something negative about me.  Just like you, I want acceptance and to feel loved.  I do what I do largely because I want to "give" to the world what I have to give.  Sure, it's not much, but it's what I have.  Take it or leave it, but don't tell me "you suck".

My YouTube channel is youtube.com/RobbieSings4u.  If you like what I've done there, please vote positively, and post a nice little comment about how the music reaches out to you.  But if you don't like me, or you otherwise disagree with my presentation, for golly sake, let's be civil.  I take constructive criticism well, but I delete messages from haters (after feeling the sting, of course).

To those who believe in me... those who appreciate who I am... what I do... thank you.

Robbie
