Trying too hard

On Sundays, I volunteer on a bus that picks up kids for church. Many of the kids on the bus annoy me but they do listen. There is one child who has the amazing ability to annoy everyone on the bus within seconds from picking him up. I do not believe he realizes that he does this. It usually starts when someone laughs at his jokes. When this happens he doesn't realize that he crosses the line from funny to annoying really fast. This makes me unbelievable sad. I don't like that he doesn't realize he is bugging people or that he feels he has to be funny for people to like him. This is just one example of someone trying too hard. If you take the time to really look around you will see that many people are also doing this. A lot of us get the idea that we need to fit in into our head. People try too hard and they don't realize that everyone is trying too hard. The majority of people today are being someone they are not. They might be being someone to make people happy or to fit in. What we don't realize is that if we all acted like ourselves, not someone else, then I think that more of us would fit in. My main point here is fit in with yourself. If you are you then you will find people who like you, not the mask.

And to quote the amazing and one of a kind Dr. Seuss 
         Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.
