I'm not crazy, my reality is just different than yours.

Thank you Cheshire Cat!  I may have just found my new life slogan.   Ha ha!  Brilliant!  But seriously, I know my blogs are all about rants about how LA is soooooo different from everywhere else in the world but why?  Because it’s a land of dreamers?  It’s a place where thousands of people flock every year because they know they’re different from everyone else and they know that this is the one place where they won’t be judged for being different…

Except that’s exactly what happens here.  We’re all judged.  For the clothes we wear, our hair styles, make-up, cars we drive.  You name it, it’s judgeable and judged.  But the people who really succeed out here, are the ones that DON’T CARE!

I’m serious!  It’s an amazing thing and granted it takes a while to realize it.  I’ve been  called crazy a lot in my life…I mean  a LOT and I’m finally to the point where I realize, I’m actually not.  I’m “crazy” because I’m driven, passionate, really care about others and put their happiness before my own. Wow, I think if there were more people like me, the world wouldn’t be such a bad place.   I mean, true everyone would have to be fans of the Cowboys and Longhorns but at least we would find a successful way to make football season a year round thing!

A friend told me earlier this week that I’m wife material.  I’m not sure how I feel about it considering I’m still single but it definitely makes me feel better knowing that I’m considered respectable.  I mean, ultimately it only matters what you think about yourself but it’s nice to know others are on the same page.  And I can only credit my family for teaching me important values growing up.  But good Lord, could you imagine me married with kids?!!  I did once…imagine it that is.  Oh well, when the time is right. 

For now, I guess I’ll keep dancing to the beat of my own drum because that is ultimately how you survive out here.  Make your own music, your own story and get lost in it.  Eventually others will start listening to it and reading along and realize that your crazy is actually a little bit of genius…  So have fun with it.

Love,

Kimberly
