    "Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world" Jim Carrey

    Wow. What an amazing, thought provoking statement!

    This resonates deeply with me. I lived well over half my life seeking acceptance, and almost lost myself, lost who I am, in the process. I don't do that any more. I know I sometimes (often?) come across as pretty out there, goofy or non-conformist. :p

    I'm not trying to be noticed, or make a statement. Not trying to be interesting, or anything else that insists "Look at meee!" My focus, my intent, is simply to wring the most out of life that I can, refusing to color inside the lines or live within a box, as I did for so long.

    Not anymore! I make my own fun and to heck with what anyone else thinks of that! :like::D:flower:
