Weird Wildlife Wisdom

I know, I know, I've written it all before. 💻 Hey, I'm not trying to sound elitist or superior but I just don't see life the way most people do. 🤓 My strange inner turmoil seems to set me apart too. 👾 My approach to certain issues is sometimes off the beaten path and clearly, that's not necessarily a good thing. 🙁 I'm always touting how I've learned to embrace my inner weirdness and while that's true most times, other times my "colorful uniqueNess" makes me feel alone and isolated. ☹ My 'alternate' view of The Universe can make me feel quite lonely too, even if I'm surrounded by loving people. 🥰 I'm not asking for anyone to UNDERSTAND me (that'd be too tall an order anyway), just APPRECIATE me. But then again, how can ask anyone to appreciate me when, on a day like today, I don't even appreciate myself? (Boo whoo whoo...😥...waah waah waah! 👶 Baby want bottle! 🍼) Look, I'm no poser. I'm not trying to be the weird chick (like so many do), I AM the weird chick. A bona fide original. 🤪 Being different can be cool but it also comes at a high price when you add "relationships" to the soup. 💋 Emotional eccentricity certainly takes it's toll on me and those I care about BUT I'm noticing that those that truly care about me, never really ever go away. ☺ Thank goodness for that! 🙏🏾 In these last few months, relationship-wise; I've stepped away from a few, re-confirmed a few and burned a couple down to the ground in smoldering ashes. 🔥 Oh well, I need to do whatever is necessary to get myself back into a good place again and to that end, there will inevitably be causalities. 😵 Afterwards, I'll spread my love to the world again. 😍 C'est la vie, it's the circle of life. 😉 Moving on...😒

Okay, okay, enough with the whoa is weird me crap. Let me end this with an absolutely true story of how my day began today. 🌞 Still dark outside, I see a really weird shaped creature kinda scurrying around in tight little circles in my front yard and driveway. 🚗 With my truck door open, ready to jump inside should the mysterious monster suddenly charge at me, I stood there for several seconds trying to figure out what it was. My yard is pretty big but so was the animal. I squint my eyes, struggling to see through the darkness to make it out but I just couldn't. 🧐 Perplexed, I whisper to myself; "Is that a dog? No wait, maybe it's a wild cat. No, no, it's kinda shaped like a pig. WTH?!" 😳 Finally, I get in my truck, put my headlights on and slowly drive up next to it. It was a gigantic, albino armadillo! 🤠 (Non-Texans, Google it.) I'd seen big armadillos before but never one that big. And before this day, I'd never even seen a white armadillo in a picture, let alone my own yard. 🤯 As I stared at the stunningly irregular animal from the safety of my truck, it slowly scurried off into the wooded area between my house and my neighbors'. Wow, if I never get the honor of seeing that beautiful creature again, I will forever appreciate our few seconds together in the dark hours of the early morning. 😪 After so many restless nights of depression, I drove to work this morning thinking that remarkable reptile was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen. (Yes, I know armadillos are actually mammals but "remarkable mammal" didn't have the same ring to it. ) Not only that, I knew it was a clear message from God, reiterating that I should be proud of that which makes me unique.  I should continue to appreciate all the things that un-evolved people don't. 🙄 I should honor my special invitation to see the secret parts of The Big Picture because others can't. 🖼 And no matter how much it hurts sometimes, I should be grateful that I'm not a cookie-cutter person with cookie-cutter views and cookie-cutter emotions.  I am different. 🥸 I am exciting. 😆 I am the colorful alternative to boring old generic...and anyone that can't appreciate that, can scurry off into the woods and never be heard from again.  Amen.
