Mel,
there will always be people laughing or picking on someone...
this is what I see in you(while I repeat moiself. LOL)
you have a Ponce de Leon Spirit....
You have a joyful and youthful spirit that shines in your posts. There is an innocence about you that a lot of people lose as they age.
and vive de coeur attitude...you have a lively heart attitude, a heart that will make you go on the streets and dance without care what anyone thinks...
that's just it, who CARES what they think? If you dance on the streets and it makes you feel alive, DO IT!
If they are laughing at you and teasing you, forget about them. They are not worth it. They are miserable people that rather laugh at other people cause that's HOW they live...you know what, grab their hands and make them dance with you, cause they are probably dead and miserable inside...
you keep doing what you are doing,Mel and no, not everyone will appreciate it, but don't worry about those folks...there WILL be people that WILL appreciate it. Embrace them and take them on the street to dance with you...
keep on smiling...and keep on dancing...
