It’s not easy to be your own person.
It’s not easy to think outside of the box when everything can be so nice and cozy inside of it.
But you’re special! Most especially when you’re busy being you. Doing what YOU do uniquely well.
Often, It can be hard to go on when you realize you’re different from others.
But being different isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a strong indication that you’ve got some new ideas and thoughts about how to do things. So keep pushing forward, humanity needs people just like you

Great post Penny! My friends call my crazy all the time. Amber=crazy as far as they’re concerned. But, it’s true, when they need help, uplifting or a good laugh, they call this crazy up! Being crazy in my opinion, is always good. I’m happy we can be crazy together and that I’m not the only one

I don’t think about all that. It’s not important for me if i am different. I am not different from me and it is the principal lol

There’s a fine line between crazy and genius, and sometimes they overlap

Great video. Loved seeing all those inspirational people. I must be crazy because I don’t look at any of them as being that, lol.

Just saw the post, “I wasn’t made for Hollywood…” Love that one. It reminded me of an Oscar Wilde quote: “Be yourself. Everyone is taken.” Paulette
