30 Days Until 30 - Day 28

I am an ever evolving woman. Life is about embracing change & growth. But one thing that will never change is my enthusiasm. For life, for optimism, for my kids, for Batman, ya know whatever.

Being enthusiastic is sort of the defining quality of being a nerd. Which is something that more & more people are readily embracing. As they should. If being yourself & acknowledging how much things make you happy makes you somehow weird or odd... well so be it.

"Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius, and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring." -Marilyn Monroe

The great big difference between being a fan of something & being part of a fandom is the magnitude of your enjoyment & the level at which is has effected your life. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's quite really the opposite. There are fandoms that stretch worldwide covering all kinds of people. You have the opportunity to engage with people you would have never crossed paths with otherwise.

And talking about things that make you happy is good for your health. It's good to be jump-on-the-sofa excited every once-in-awhile. Even the lively debating that goes on amongst fans is good for keeping you on your toes.

So many people will bicker & argue & complain without batting an eye. But gushing & showing affection is something people would rather be kept to one's self. Kind of backwards if you ask me. Point is, much like many of my posts, BE YOURSELF. And LOVE.
