Never Apologize for...

I see a lot of people everyday. Some people just don’t get it; others do... but often choose not to. What I am talking about? Being yourself.

I was having a conversation with a guy who was trying to make me laugh... or he was just be silly. And then he straightened himself up and apologized. For a minute, he just let go of himself go and was fun. And then the inner adult came in and corrected him on how to speak and act 'appropriately.'

ok, first of all... I hate that word. Yes I do believe that there is a time and a place for everyone to behave and where we have to keep up appearances; but the place that you shouldn’t do it is at home... or with the people that you are about.

You should never have to apologize for being yourself. In fact, I think MORE people have to learn how to truly connect, communicate, and emanate from deep within our inner self... or better said, the Inner Child.

Why do you think our children are so happy? They just love. They certainly don’t hold onto things, like grudges and pettiness; as something happens, they release the emotions and just a few minutes later - everything is done and over with and all is well. It’s called loving unconditionally.  After all, they make music from pots and toys from the caps of a soda pop bottle.

Why would a person WANT to hold onto such negative space anyway?

Well, back to my topic...

That person who is creative and fun, silly, always making people laugh, sharing their sandwiches, holding hands, go swimming, playing jacks, and simply... people who find the meaning of ... well, just about anything. These are the ones connected to their inner child. Oddly, it's the hardest character sometimes to play. The most vulnerable. And in the same token, the most meaningful once you work out some of the speed bumps.

Bravo. It takes a brave person to be them self.

For those who aren't... doesn't life that is controlled, stiff, laughter-less, all business, maybe even lonely... suck?

Gosh if you ask me, you should never apologize ... for being yourself.
