This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. I get told no a lot. I get told not to bark. We discussed that on yesterday’s blog. No sense in rehashing that. Or pancaking that. Or waffling that.
But what makes me laugh is every time a person tells me to stop doing something or making noise, they are making more noise.
I like to talk. Kind of like Boy Person. And if no one is talking, I’ll talk to myself.
I’ll mumble and grumble till the cows come home. And we don’t have cows. So it will be forever.
But some persons don’t know how to accept me for my different way of talking.
Yesterday, when we were taking a walk, I was happy. And I was happy Brickle was walking too. So I was kicking up my feet and the sand and mumbling how good it felt to be out. But I scared a lady person apparently. And she jumped away from me with a look of horror.
Boy Person told her that I meant no harm. That I like to talk to myself or the wall or whatever is around. She said oh. And said, “he has issues.”
You know what? I do have issues, lady person. One of those issues is that I love life.
And I like to express myself. I don’t keep the happy bottled up. I won’t apologize for that.
If someone has a different way of expressing themselves, why be afraid?
How we dress, what we eat, how we wear our hair, what music we listen to…those are all ways of how we express ourselves. Be open to how others are fulfilled.
Things and individuals aren’t always as they appear. That lady person didn’t know how stressed I’ve been lately taking care of Brickle and my persons. She didn’t know I used to be a stray and I’m just embracing life.
All she heard was a grumble. And I’m more than a grumble. I’m Fruitycake. I have issues. But grumbling isn’t one.
