For a Halloween party several years ago, I thought I’d go with an understated approach.
For my costume, I wrapped a band-aid around the bridge of my glasses.
Not one person got the joke. (Or if they did get the joke, I couldn’t tell – they were all avoiding me.)
Sigh.
I will not let other people define me.
If I find joy in things that other people roll their eyes at, so be it.
If, in striving to make the most out of what precious little time we have on this planet, I choose to spend that time on things other than clothes shopping, small talk, or personal hygiene, so be it.
If I decide that the geeky things I do are more important to me than trying to gain the acceptance of people who probably wouldn’t like me anyway, so be it.
Peace.
