It's true. You're crazy.

Crazy Seagull



I'm here today to enforce a thought that is already in your head. 

You're crazy. 

It's true. 

But it's also amazing. I don't know when or where we got it into our heads that we all need to conform to this ridiculous idea of "normalcy," but it is bananas. Your crazy is what makes you unique. It's what makes you awesome. 

It's what makes you YOU. 

And sadly, most of us hide our crazy for that very reason. Think about it for a moment. When do you feel the most like yourself? The most relaxed and safe and confident in yourself? I'm going to go ahead and make the assumption that you're probably at home. Acting "crazy."

My crazy looks a lot like me dancing around the kitchen, singing some stupid song, flailing my spoon around over my head. Completely unconcerned with how I look because the only person to see me is my husband, and he loves me no matter how crazy I am. 

Somewhere along the line, though, I stopped caring what people thought. I remember recently dancing around in the terminal at the airport, in full flight attendant uniform, in front of all the passengers who were about to board my plane. And they totally said something to me, lots of them. But you wanna know what they said? 

"You're awesome."

"I'm so excited to have a fun flight attendant on our flight!"

"I could tell this was going to be an amazing flight before I even got on the plane."

"I've been so nervous about this flight all day, and after seeing you up there, I feel like I can relax now."

I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought I was an idiot too. But who cares what they think? I'm here to make a positive impact. To make people smile. And feel good about themselves. And that day, I did. There are always going to be people who disapprove of you. Forget them. Focus on the ones who love you for your crazy. Those are your people. 

Tell me about your crazy! What makes you feel alive inside?
