My entire life I've been told that I am Too Much! Too Wild! Too Loud! Too Outrageous! Too Bold! Too Sensitive! Too Emotional! Too Needy! I think Too Much! I Feel Too Much! I wear Too Much eye shadow! I am always . . . TOO Much!
My Mother used to always tease me, "You are larger than life!"
I never really understood what she really meant by that so one day I asked.
"It means that you are going to be just fine because larger is the size of life!"
There are times when I am tempted to smile a bit less, laugh a little softer and "tone down" for the benefit of "others".
I am me and that is all I desire to be.
I can no longer edit, limit or conform my actions to the wishes of others so that "they" can be more "comfortable".
Will they smile more, laugh harder and "lighten up" for my benefit?
I don't think that I am too much . . .
perhaps it is the others that are not enough!
Let's all risk smiling too much, laughing too much, loving too much and being too much.
Have you ever been told that you are too much?
Let's start our own sociey. We will wear clothes that are too much, have parties that are too much and enjoy life way too much!
