Oh me oh my! Have you ever been told to simmer down? Or that you’re too loud? Have you ever felt out of place because you just simply like to laugh, have fun, and just happen to have this BIG personality?! Well listen to me! Ignore negative people and negative comments!
You see, I am 5ft tall and weigh (none ya business), and I have this GIGANTIC personality that a lot of people do NOT like! I am loud! I stand up for what I believe in or think! I don’t hold anything back (I’m working on this one), and I just flat out can and will (if needed) command attention when I walk into a room! It can be a room full of children, such as a cafeteria, or a room full of adults! I tend to make others very uncomfortable because I guess I’m not “lady like” and all the “proper” rules go out of the window when I’m around! But guess what?! I’m tired of caring what “SOME” people think! Because who I truly am……….is life!
The thing I love to do the most is have fun! It doesn’t matter if I’m at home, work, or a sports activity which typically includes one, if not both, of my children! And let me tell you–I get some looks! And because of that I ALMOST let other people’s opinion change who I am! But thankfully, the people who are judging me or you, are not the ones who matter!
Please dont let anybody take your voice away! Do NOT let their lack of ability to have fun decide if you’re going to be yourself or sit quietly in the corner! And do NOT for any reason, let their looks, their attitude, their chatter, or anything else change you! You are not here to please others! Your true friends and family love you just the way you are! And if you’re “peeps” are anything like mine, they know when you’re quiet, that something is wrong!
Always remember that you are not too much! Your personality is not too big! You can’t have too much fun! And there will always be prudes that you will never be able to please! So don’t try!
And one last thought! Ask yourself 2 questions. 1. “Who am I like?” And 2. “Would I want them to be different or do I love them the way they are?” For me, the first answer is most definitely my mother! And the second answer is heck to the no because I love that she found a way to make life so enjoyable!
By being me, others get to continue to see pieces of her! Im keeping her memory alive by being who she taught me to be! And really, for those who choose not to accept me the way I am….they’re the ones losing out! They can like me or not, but I will no longer conform to who society says I should or shouldn’t be, and neither should you! We get one go round on this journey—-so you do you and dont worry about others say or think!!!
Enjoy Every Moment
