Great and Thanks ! I get you... Every Super Hero/ Super She-Ro has to mask or hide their true identity. The world appreciates you when you are doing something for them... but when you do something for yourself... it is frowned upon. I am glad that you use your power for good and not evil. I have the same situation going on, and in New Jersey, there is not a lot of people like me... I still do it my way, and get the stares, cheers and sometimes jeers... I use this as fuel to inspire. (even if it's only to inspire myself...lol). If you were in New Jersey... we would show them how it's done, with style, kindness, class and fun.
Thank you for granting me permission to follow you. I am over here all giddy and blushing like crazy !

I spent a summer in Jersey for an internship but hit NYC every weekend. I had a blast! My husband also attended graduate school in NYC when we were dating so I visited him there often. I’m a small town girl that was frowned upon for having big dreams and not following the crowd. I left the small town behind but I’m still very self conscience of how having different standards and enjoying the finer things is perceived.

Awesome ! And yes... that could be a serious balancing act of trying to be appropriate. I bet, even when you are dressed down and super casual, you are called out for being over dressed or dressy. New York is awesome in that way... everybody does what ever they want to do and dress however they want to dress... I spend all my time and most of my money there. lol. New Jersey is getting better with people caring about their appearance, I think I started a trend. I'm usually super casual with a pair of fitted jeans and a fitted tee shirt from a Broadway show, but with great shoes, usually Gucci and accessories and my jewelry stacks... Even now when I go to the Walmart, I see people that I've always seen, but now, they seem to care a little about their appearance, and make sure they spot me for conversation... I am sure they are seeking my approval and hope I noticed the change (as my Wife puts it). My Wife and my Son is heading to Orlando for the weekend to visit her college friends. I am staying here to hang out in NYC alone to soak up the energy that only New York can give. I've tried to hang in different parts of Florida a few times... got tired of justifying my existence to everyone. Now Miami... especially South Beach... that's my other hangout ! They are not intimidated by or of style, being different and standing out. Couldn't and wouldn't want to live there though.
