"Do I dare disturb the universe?"
--Jerry Renault, The Chocolate War
Ever wonder if you only behaved the way you do because of an internal fear to mess up the norm, fear to rebel against the in crowd--against the drones?
I do. I always have impulses that seem to want to push me toward the "not so acceptable." I've always been that way, and I suppose that is what made me into such a weirdo growing up. Don't get me wrong... I'm able to fit in at times, but with the forever present coating of strangeness mixed in.
I say be yourself! Know matter who that is! My philosophy is if I follow my Heavenly Father and do as he would have me do I will be alright. This doesn't mean I do what everyone else does!! Sometimes it is complete opposite. So as long as you are doing anything that is going to put you in jail, be yourself!!!
