You may never be understood,
but I want you to know that we really do applaud you
even if it is in silence.
It is because of YOU
that we can at times do those things that others may think is silly
or irresponsible or even down right dumb.
It is because of YOU
that we have the courage to, sometimes, stand out from the crowd.
This started an old song in my head: Make your own kind of music, sing your own special song. Make your own kind of music even if nobody else sings along.

ReplyDeleteOnce heard someone say that worrying about what other people think is a form of pride. Even if I am worried that they are thinking something negative. That it is prideful to think that others spend all their time being concerned with what I do or do not do.
ReplyDeleteYMMV on it, but it helps me sometimes when I worry about it.
I have heard of this message before and I like it. It's true how people can be judgamental.
