Let me start out by telling you a little about myself…
I don't go crazy. I am crazy. I
just go normal from time to time.
I’ve
loved to write down my thoughts, hopes, dreams, plans, etc. since an early age.
I’ve grown up doing that. I’ve grown “old” doing that.
With
each season of life came changes in how I recorded those thoughts. As a young
child I wrote nightly in a hidden diary under my bed and opened by a key in the
drawer of my night stand. As a youth, I bought and completed journals – the covers
decorated with what I was most interested in at that time of my life. As a
young adult, I began keeping a journal on my computer – you know, the computers
that looked like huge boxes with a bubbled TV screen on the front. At one point
the journaling transitioned to a blog which I entitled “stuckinindiana”. It contained
more unpublished posts than ones I published. To publish a post meant that I
was sharing my thoughts with anyone… in the whole, wide world. Throughout the
years, one thing remained, the firm belief that said:
You are not normal. You are
different.
What you are writing is from your perspective of LIFE.
It is a
perspective that others don’t share.
It is a perspective that others won’t care
to follow.
As I
began to open my soul more & more through my posts, I was comforted in
knowing that – even though I was publicly publishing and sharing more of my
posts – practically no one would read them since I was so different. I reminded
myself that I was my own version of CRAZY – totally unique to me. I knew that what
I wrote could not have a real positive effect on this world.
But, I
have continued to write, post & share. Why? Because I believe in the power
of ONE – the power of ONE person mattering; the power of ONE person who can make
a difference; the power of ONE person who doesn’t have to weigh everything they
do by what the masses will think. And so… I continue… to share…
Join me
in that journey! Maybe you can join me in saying:
I don't go crazy. I am crazy. I
just go normal from time to time.
