This has been a challenging time. The Universe is stretching me. God is asking me to stretch beyond my borders. Life is stretching me further and further from the person I thought I was.
Yet, I remain the same. Yet, stretched. Yet, changed. Yet, not. Odd. Yet not. Smh.
I have been asked to open my heart wider. To show more of my inner goofness. Why? My goofy side is a big part of who I am. Who I choose to be.
Growing up, I was ALWAYS admonished to ‘be serious’. I was too blasted loud. I learned to temper myself. I learned to dim my light so as not to make folk ‘uncomfortable’ with my being unapologetically me.
I’m done living my life that way. I do NOT apologize for my passion. I do NOT apologize for my loud voice. It’s how I was made. I AM passionate. The more excited I get, the louder I get.
Growing up, adults made me feel ashamed of my outward expressions of joy, goofiness or whatever I was feeling.
God never made me feel that way. He encouraged me to be me. He cajoled me to get my stupid on. He does to this day.
He laughs at my Bitmoji’s. Which makes ME laugh at them. At first, I hesitated sharing them with folk. The old shame returned. I wondered if folk would think I was being especially stupid/goofy and would dismiss my words.
My words, in part, stem from the foolishness inside. So, I take the leap of faith and share ALL of me. Some will think it cute. Others will think me a fool. That’s okay. I shall continue to love them. I shall continue to love ME. ALL of me:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Love ALL of you, beloveds. Allow yourself to be stretched so you can receive all the love and joy meant for your tender and precious heart.
being unapologetically me,
Cassandra
