Who I Am, Who You Are

I've always asked questions. As a child, my family would get exasperated at my endless quest of always asking for more answers than they could provide. I often wondered why no one showed more interest in what the world had to offer. Weren't they curious? Didn't they want to know? I was perplexed at their contentment in not knowing. What was wrong with them? I couldn't fathom not knowing or at the least, not asking. As I grew, I realized that I was in a very small minority.  In fact, I seemed to be in my own category. No one around me - friends or family - asked the type of questions I wanted answers to. Worse, no one seemed to care. It made for a somewhat lonely existence. The good thing is that it forced me to explore on my own, within myself and what I perceived around me. I've been called eccentric and deep. It suits me.

"Museful Being" is my space, my own personal place to ponder and ask my questions out loud without having to worry about being shushed or hushed. Here, I can ask and wonder about anything and everything to my heart's content without encountering baffled or blank looks on puzzled faces.

I have had the pleasure and privilege of one special friend with whom I converse intimately on deep and esoteric subjects. I never thought I'd find another soul on the same wavelength as me. It's made a world of difference in my life. I hope to share a lot of what we discuss.

In finding another like myself, I've learned how important it is to share yourself with the world. Holding who you are inside of you, not letting the truth of who you are shine forth, slowly kills your spirit. Fight for yourself, even if you're alone in your little corner of the world where no one else seems to think or feel like you do, even if your loved ones don't want to or can't understand where you're coming from. Don't succumb to stifling who you are. I did it for most of my life and there's no joy there. Believe in who you are. You are who you are for a reason. The world needs you. We're all here to learn and to teach others. So go stick it to them...
