Why do we get to a point where we get embarrassed about things?
Where we can’t laugh at ourselves?
Remember when you were a kid and you wore whatever you wanted and acted however you wanted? By acted, I mean you didn’t care what people thought of you. Early grade school.
Those were the days.
I want to get back to that point. I want to be myself without thinking what other people think. I feel like worrying about those things has also hurt my creativity in some ways.
I think I’m slowly getting there. I’m hoping my YouTube page can be that outlet. I want to be myself.
I want my friends and even people I don’t know to hold me accountable to this.
Last Saturday I went to a wedding. I knew a total of maybe 4 people. I met some new people. It was great. But something in me clicked. I’m a horrible dancer. Awful. I decided, “Hey, I don’t know anybody here. I’m going to dance my heart out like an idiot.” That’s what I did. It was hilarious. But I didn’t care. That was the best part.
Who cares what other people think? I for one don’t as much anymore. And let me tell you, it’s freeing. It’s amazing.
I’m slowly getting to a point where I’m myself in all situations. Obviously there are times to tone it down and times to chill out, but there are still ways to be my outgoing and funny self.
