I am Funny

I have always avoided being funny. Those times when I felt I was funny (in an embarrassing way), when I look back at them, I feel regret.

Even those chances when I did things for something or someone I loved, when I recall those instances and don't seem to feel the same fervor towards them anymore, or even when the feeling stays and the memory just springs up into my mind, I feel ashamed, embarrassed, regretful. I was worried what others may have thought of me.

But I realized, when you love, you're funny. You're radical. You don't care what others may think. You just LOVE.

And when you live, you're funny. When you do extraordinary things, those that are out of the box, to be yourself or to make a difference, that's funny.

But it's not something to be ashamed of. In fact, those who have the will to be different, those who don't mind what others think just so they can follow their hearts, have to be proud.

In life, as I realized, sometimes, you've just got to be funny, ridiculous, laughable to be what He made you to be, to be honest to who you are. And in that sense, find freedom just to be.

Love who you are. And, well, just laugh at yourself too.
