"You laugh at me because I am different, I laugh at you because you are all the same!"
I like this sentence, I can't really remember where I read it but it brings solace to my soul.
Since I can remember I have heard comments like, "your a little weird!" or "something is missing in your mind!" and more, some not really nice and some from people I really liked. After a while you get used to it.
In a way that is the truth, I really am not quite like most of my friends, I have strange ideas, strange hobbies and some really strange hopes and dreams.
I can't count all the nights I spent discussing ways of creating a time machine, or the many many times I have had conversations with myself. I have fun!
I enjoy seeing things from a different perspective, most times the way "normal" people look at life bores me to death. I cannot believe people grow up and feel they are too old to wear the rainbow, or do a crazy hair do or even sing silly songs. It actually saddens me. I guess that is maybe one of the major reasons why I have always loved to teach the younger classes. I remember one of my students telling me how he was going to build a flying car and take me on a trip around the world. The amount of detail he put into it just made me so happy, I like kids who have an imagination, they can go anywhere, we had some really fun mornings drawing that car and talking about where we would go and what would we do. What kind of person would I be if I told him that was an impossible idea!!! So was the internet and see where we are today:P
The narrowminds of people nowdays astonishes me in such a way I literally sometimes cry over it.
I enjoy being "weird", whoever loves me, loves me anyway and whomsoever doesn't, tough cookie for them.
I like butterflies and fairies, pink, and bubbles and I like to play tag and jump on the trampoline,I like to dance in the rain and eat cotton candy oh yeah!!!!!!
And on the day that I start feeling "too old" to be a kid I hope some good friend will smack me across the face and challange me for a jump on the trampoline.
The world is already too full of seriousness, sadness and despair I won't join in it I will make merry and enjoy laughter while I can, because I doubt there is anything better in the world than a great laugh!!!!!
Great post! My father told me a while ago that the world is full of stuppid and ignorant people, but they are so much that we can't change them all, but at least we can help those close to us to open their eyes and see all the wonderful things that are surrounding them all the time. Why shouldn't I behave like a kid if I just feel like one? Why are people living like they will never die, and then die just like never had lived?
