Stay True To You

---

Those DC daughters of mine…

Went to the Spongebob Movie on Thanksgiving Day…sent a photo to rub it in…gonna be a Christmas Day date for a couple of old folks because as far as this old gal is concerned…

Spongebob is the GOAT…a BFF…like family…those ladies of mine and that yellow sponge go way back…way way back…to the days of little girls and then not so little girls…

They watched Spongebob…quoted Spongebob…he was loved…he was adored…so much so that when that middle daughter of mine presented her high school Valedictorian speech…she wrote it…about Spongebob…

His outlook on life…his friendships…his acceptance of others…it was clever…witty…and high school being high school…fodder for heckling…humiliation and online jabs…

Fast forward ten years…and here she is now, working with college kids…all kinds of college kids who think she’s the bees knees because she’s clever and witty…decorates with Legos…and quotes…Spongebob…

And so it is…in life…don’t let the world…social media…other people…tell you who to be…dictate who you are…

Stay true to you and someday you will find your people…or maybe like in this case when you least expect it…your people…will find you…

And that daughter of mine…agrees…
