This is a big thing for me:
Growing up as a kid, it was a common joke in our family to call me out for being “in La La Land.” It hurt a lot, most of the time, and has been something I’ve held on to for years.
Today, i’m letting it go.
The truth is, more often than not I DO live in my own little world, and over the last few weeks I have realized this is a blessing, not the curse that I was ashamed of. “La La Land” is the source of most of my creativity, my worthwhile thoughts, everything I write, and quite honestly it is the heart of me. It is the part of me that stubbornly insists on loving and living like a child. I love it, my God loves it, and the few that truly know me well love it. So, here’s to being honest, and to living in our own little, better worlds.
