"what's with that?"
or,
"do you always dress like that?"
or,
"are you for real?"
or the haters say,
"you seem fake! you're just acting weird to get attention!" (except, typically, they say these things with very poor spelling)
... usually i respond with the title of this post...
"i've just always been this way..."
... and i leave it at that... but tonight i'm going to delve deeper into the subject... i'm sure most of you will easily relate... well, those of you who are female... or gay... & i guess probably a few of you straight guys that aren't all caught up in being macho...
... playing dress up...
we did it as kids... even as adults, a lot of us still do it on halloween... it's fun! put on a tacky hat, a scarf, a cape, some gloves, or whatever you can find & you're transformed into something else! a fancy lady, a super hero, a monster, whatever!
it's good, clean fun... am i fake because i like to play dress-up? am i not being me? i would say that by playing dress-up, i'm more "me" than when i'm in a tee & some jeans... when i don my tiger ears... when i loop that tail through my belt & put it on... when my cape flows in the wind as i'm soaring to the very edge of our atmosphere... it's then, that i feel most like myself... the true me... the one who is free... when every single moment of life makes my heart rejoice... & i smile big... & proud... for all the world to see...
so, if you think i'm fake... that i'm just an act... here's the proof that...
"i've just always been this way"
i <3 you all... i'll be back later... gonna go put my ears on over the headphones and maybe record a track or two for the next album we're working on...
