Day Three: Cecilie's Truth: You're never alone

Cecilie here with today's truth: You are never alone.

That right there can be a very, very deep truth, but I'm not thinking in that sense today.
I'm thinking the lighter, fluffier version (watch out, I overuse 'fluffy',it's my second favorite adjective)

SO!
 
Just don't start thinking about the deep truth there, got it? Let's move on.

You really are never alone
You math nerds
You sports fans
You dancers
You cat lovers
You dinosaur-obsessed
You historians
You writers
You weird people like me
You people who put bunches of hair ties in your hair so you don't lose them
You people who love photography more because it's fun than because it can be a profession
All of you
There's always someone else.

Just today I met a lady who's nearly fifty, and she works at the discount store, and she rides horses, and she makes fantasy costumes. She loved my cloak that I was wearing while taking pictures today, and she freaked out, and turns out, she's a fantasy geek too. Sweetest lady, and it showed me that I don't have to be 'trendy' or 'cool' to make friends, and I'm not alone. I will not ever be the only sixty seven year old fantasy nerd out there who wears cloaks just for the fun of it and who has a Ranger's cabin for a house and who names her horses after characters.

So take heart, you outcasts, you oddities, you relics, you specials, you different, you wonderful, wonderful people; you're never alone.

Take heart.
Stay awesome.
Love your dragons like family.
~Cecilie.
