Is it me?

Is it me? I’ve been asking myself in the last few hours. I wonder if I scare people away.

I’m not a dreamer, but dream catcher; one of those hopeless romantics that feel like anything is possible. Maybe I get it from my friend Veronica—the belief that moving mountings is a mere act, rather than impossibility. But does everyone feel that way?

If I say I will do something, I will do whatever it takes to reach that goal. I wonder if that scares people or adds pressure on them? Is there such a thing as being too motivated? George Carlin said that it’s the motivated people you have to look out for.

My brother and I grew up with X-Men comics, and he said that I have a gift of being  focused on my ambitious and loving…almost too much. Is that a fault? Sometimes I do feel like a mutant, and just want to be accepted by others. Just because I have huge expectations of myself doesn’t mean I have the same in other people—mean that as a good thing. I love people as they are.

In May of 2009, when Veronica told me about her brother #Eric’s illness, I did not think twice and decided to drop everything to do whatever it takes to help her save her brother. Upon further reflection, this might not be a normal reaction for people. Is it scary that my initial reaction was to help unconditionally without thinking of the circumstances and “improbabilities” for someone I’ve never met? For me…no, absolutely not.

So what’s my point? I supposed I’m curious if I add too much pressure on people. Am I isolating myself from the world? Am I delusional?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and could use some advice.

Meanwhile, I’ve been looking at LOL Cats to lift my spirits. Even when I’m feeling this down, there’s no better cure than an I Can Has Cheezburger cat.
