I'm Free to be Me, You're Free to be You...


Let us set the tone...
get your heart right with- Freedom Reigns/ Jesus Culture ft. Kim Walker Smith
kick it old school with- Free/ All Right Now
admire Steven Tyler, in all his uniqueness with- Steven Tyler- Love is your name
now let's get real with- Jake Owen- Real Life


So, I shared this message with my friends on fb this morning:

I expect to lose a number of friends on here in the near future...
I've come to realize, somewhere along the road, I quit being myself & instead followed the masses... No mas.
I understand if the real me is a little too much for you, or a little too different. Lol.
No hard feelings, I wish you well! Just do me a favor & don't try to conform me to your personal standards/ preferences/ mold and we'll get along famously!
I'm so done altering my appearance, practices, language, taste etc. to suit those who have no right to dictate such.
I'm no longer a slave to societies whims! I'm FREE TO BE ME! Thank the Lord for that!

Seth Godin's Blog post this morning was so in line with where I've been headed mentally lately...

I Realized I'm Pretty Neat,

and that if I'm BRAVE enough to just be myself, instead of trying to conform to whatever I happen to see around me at the time, I'll be a much happier person... which is sort of a big deal.

Too many of us spend our lives trying to live up to these UNREALISTIC images our parents/ teachers/ grandparents/ peers etc, want to see us turn into... I don't want to do that to myself.

I want to be like Oh in Home, or like Eep in The Croods... they're my heroes right now. So Brave!

This is sure to be a wild ride, as I REMEMBER WHO I AM, who I truly am on the inside...

-Thanks for joining me on this Struggle Bus!
