Be Ok With Being Crazy

Similar to most of my “runs,” my jog today turned into a stroll. Then my stroll turned into stopping, and that’s when stopping turned into a thought.

My thought was this: Girls are crazy.

Now before you get all uprooted and defensive on me, allow me to explain.  Women, us, me, have an emotional range similar to the visual complexity of a kaleidoscope.  We are tired, hungry, excited, sad, giddy, vulnerable, loving, and angry, and that’s just today. The problem you see is not being those things, but being afraid of owning it.

The world, not just men, women too, tells us not to identify with exactly what we are feeling at this very moment.  We tell each other to be unaffected, be strong, and be above that.  My rebuttal to that is simply this: there is a difference between knowing those things about yourself and having to be them all the time.  I wish we would just accept the beautiful truths about ourselves by identifying and dealing with our impulses.  Be ok with being a little crazy.  Hell, we might even find we aren’t the only ones.

I can’t tell you how many of my friends constantly ask me “is that crazy?” I always respond with the same thing, “Is it how you feel?” “Well there is nothing crazy about how you feel.” I do believe my main man Dr. Seuss says it best, “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”

Have a crazy day ladies.
