Anyone else feel like an Alien?
As a child I would sit and dream of being far away and with influential people. At night I would watch TV and dream of being pat of it somehow. I was a small town kid and raised on a farm. There wasn't much to do, nor was there anyone who spoke my language. You see the dreamer mentality was too far out for most of the towns people i was around. They were afraid of life and over half of them had never been outside the county line, let alone out of the country.
It seemed no one was there for me to connect to. Was I an ALIEN?
I can't tell you how many times i thought about this one.
Then one day I was introduced to really old people. My mother had volunteered at an assisted living (old folks home) and I was asked to come along. Even though they didn't believe the same dream, they did one very important thing.. They listened. Not only did they listen, they were great story tellers themselves. So, to fulfill the mundane world in which i lived, i would volunteer to sit with the elderly and or asked to go with my mother more often. I enjoyed their kindness and peaceful souls, but I still felt as if i were alone.
Then, one day when I was 16 i bumped into someone (literally bumped into) who would change my life forever. It was summer and July was hot in Kansas, so we all would go to the local pool hall to shoot pool and drink sodas.. lots of them. And as I walked in, she and I bumped into one another. Beautiful blonde hair and gorgeous tan, she said "I'm sorry." I quickly said "No pardon me." She giggled at my polite manners and said hey, are you an actor? I was shy and bashful, so i shied away. Thank fully she persisted and walked outside to talk to me.
We talked for 15 minutes or something like that and she began telling me about life in California and Acting and traveling.. For the first time in my life I had met someone who spoke my language! YAY!!! I was so excited by the time we finished, I never even got her name, nor her phone number. But from that moment on, I was validated in knowing that i wasn't alone and that I just may NOT be an Alien.
This one goes out to the Blonde girl from California. Thank you! You saved my life and gave me hope.
Those of us who think different, or act out as our true selves are not Aliens, but enlightened beings that know and believe in truth and know that when we follow our hearts and trust that, we will reach our destiny.
Cheers!

Follow your passion to find your destiny. Patient and persistence will lead you a long way to accomplish your dream.
I understand where you are coming from because no one ever seemed to speak my language when I was growing up. I suppose I have always been a dreamer, but I always believed in the things that I dreamed.
Years later a lot of my dreams have come true because I followed them through. It has taken years, but it has been worth it.
Always follow your dreams as I believe that they are your true destiny.

I'm definitely an alien. I think people in chat are starting to realize that too LOL.
