Singing mice will eventually drive you insane.

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being perceived incorrectly?  Like people don't like you or value your opinion but if only they knew you, truly knew you they would want to hang on your every word and be with you always?  Do you assume that because others have more friends than you do or post more pictures of their perfect family and their perfect life that you are less than?  Don't even get me started about the number of "likes" a person has.

May I be the first to tell you, get over yourself!  I do it too of course we are all human we all do it.  I will see a picture of a group of ladies going to dinner and think "hey! wait a minute!  I know all those ladies Why didn't I get invited?  I will then secretly judge all of them for weeks.  I'm not saying it's the right thing to do I'm just being transparent.  The thing is people aren't thinking about you or judging you anywhere near as much as you think they are.  They also didn't necessarily forget to invite you on purpose.  Tables are only so large and once you get past 4 to 6 you can't hear what's going on at the other end of the table anyway!

The truth is it is hard to plan gatherings.  You are always going to leave someone out or forget someone obvious, and then feelings will get hurt and friendships will be strained, you know unless of course we are all adults and NOT TAKE EVERYTHING PERSONALLY!!!

We are all just trying to get through this crazy thing called life without getting hurt, problem is we do get hurt, often actually.  It's how we learn.  If you touch a stove and burn yourself, you don't touch the stove again without being more careful the next time.  Plan an event yourself, I promise it will very quickly open your eyes to how hard it is to include everyone.  You will realize that people will misinterpret your intentions and there will be hurt feelings. (There always are.) Hopefully, the next time you aren't included  you will realize it just isn't all about you.

You are you!  Be you.  Don't try to be something you aren't to fit in and be liked, because then the world would be missing out on what you are supposed to be!  What if all of the Disney princesses wanted to be Cinderella?  We would have one story that I promise would eventually get old.  You can only watch singing mice so many times before wanting to scream.

Go out, be you, be kind!
