Okay, late last night I had a conversation with someone who I consider very special. We were discussing the topic of life (don't roll your eyes!), and he mentioned the movie, "Yes Man." So I took a look at a few of the clips of the movie and really got a clear picture of how my life is right now.
I'm the "closed off little box girl" who's afraid to crawl out and take a chance and do something that could be scary but also could be one helluva lot of fun at the same time.
Yeah, that's me.
I've had some relationships and life experiences that caused me to crawl back in my shell and lose trust and faith...in others... AND in myself. I think I've missed out on life, and from today forward, I'm not going to miss one more opportunity to experience something new. Something potentially scary. Something potentially humiliating. Maybe not illegal (I gotta keep my job)... but maybe just on the verge. Just say "What the hell," and go for it. I'm gonna say what's in my heart and not worry if it comes across weird. I'm gonna be honest with myself. Authentic. And if I feel like getting up and dancing by myself -- or with someone else -- I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna sing like I don't give a damn who's listening.
Whew! That feels good.
So, thanks to you, dear friend. You are my "Yes Man." Maybe not as scary and weird as Jim Carrey... but darned close. I like that :)
