Be Different. Be Happy. Be Real.

I’ve always been different. If I wasn’t trying to be different, it would happen naturally. Sometimes, I crave normality and wish I was like everyone else. I am happy with myself, and truly believe my differences make me.. ME. Overall, I am a fairly well rounded person. However, when I’m breaking down and my mind is off, I just want to be normal.

Being the fat kid, taught me a lot about people, being unique taught me even more. For the most part, I am a social butterfly. I never stuck with just one crowd of people, and normally, I was accepted by all. Being the fat kid, being the different kid, being the crazy ocd chick, has made me into a very interesting person.

People confide in me. Perhaps because they know I will try not to judge, and I will try to understand, or because I will give my opinion in a non threatening way. Or maybe its because they know whatever they tell me could never be as bonkers as what is going on in my own head.

I don’t believe there is just one way to live. I believe we can all live peacefully with our differences. The most important part of life.. Is that you live! You need to be happy. You must take every step possible to ensure your happiness. I don’t mean artificial or material happiness either. I mean the real kind where you could be poor and still be smiling, OR, be alone, and know your not alone.

You must do this by being REAL. By being TRUE, to yourself and others. Some days it is easier then others, but a positive attitude goes a long way. The only other rule is that you go through life taking every possible step to prevent hurting others intentionally.

My first instinct when I witness something different is to judge. I think we are all made this way. However, I have made it a habit to stop, and think about why I’m judging. Then I ask myself two questions. “ Is what I am seeing hurting anyone?” and “Is the person and or people happy?”

It doesn’t matter to me….
what color you are,
what your gender is,
what your sexual orientation is,
Or what religion you are,
…. That is , as long as your happy.

I don’t care….
if you are CEO of some spiffy company,
if your monogamous or polyamorous,
if you’re a squeegee kid on the commons,
Or if you have you have 13 toes and 3 boobs,
….That is, as long as your happy.

If your a good person, everything else irrelevant. If your happy, I’m happy.

And, really, most of us don’t have enough legitimate reasons to be unhappy.
