Hello, again. I hope your week is going well. I can hardly believe that we are already almost a week into May. The time is truly flying by, so much so that I have to make a concerted effort to find time to pause and reflect. Today I wanted to share the latest quote that I did for my door.

I love this quote and some people that stopped by to read my door also seemed to enjoy it. I love it because it reminds me that trying to be something that I’m not is exhausting. It also reminds to question what I think is a “normal person” so I stop trying to define what I do with whether it is normal or not. It also makes me think about the many masks we may use, depending on the social situation, to fit in, be accepted, or get by.

This quote, to me, doesn’t suggest that we let it “all hang out” or not be kind and empathetic or try to help. But it does suggest to me that the pursuit of whatever the heck “The Joneses” are doing is exhausting and unrewarding. Figuring out who I am and what I want to do, even if it isn’t “normal” is a far better use of my time.

So here’s to being who you are, whether anyone thinks it’s normal or not, and doing/creating/being what you are meant to do/create/be on this earth. 🙂
