5 years.
That's about how old I feel. Remember that little essay about 'All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten'? My essay would begin with 'All I Ever Needed to Know I Learned From Adam Lambert' - starting just about 5 years ago. I found a voice that unlocked my own.
Music again; joyful, sexy songs replaced 'talk radio'.
Honesty and living authentically replaced trying to please everyone else.
Glitter and shades of black; boots and leather replaced 'Alfred Dunner' and 'Charter Club' designs.
I boarded planes, rented cars, navigated cities alone; and found friends from here to New Zealand and Moscow.
Demanded stamina of myself; and danced with such abandon I couldn't feel my feet.
Started paying attention to prejudice and 'tolerance'.
Found a voice to speak out against the above.
Through Adam's inspiration, I discovered causes to believe in and support.
I've learned it's not time to put the toys away; it's never necessary to feel that wisdom is only revealed when our lives are tidy.
There's always time to sing; to listen; to see with eyes looking inside as well as outside.
While my life is a surprise to me, there is always someone out there who can find me with the words "I understand".
I love the freedom of not knowing where this journey will end; or even if it will end. It has colored me neon green! And red, and blue and magenta - and I'm not staying inside the lines at all, as I turn another page of the story. It's Adam's story; but it's our adventure, too!
