A lot of people have a hard time if they feel out of place or like they are different. From my own experience, everyone is weird. It almost seems that to fit in you should be weird. Everyone has their own special way of being unusual, and I think that is pretty cool!

It is like life is just walking around meeting people and making friends to find out what unique way we are all freaks. In a perfect world, I imagine when we meet new people we would say “Oh nice to meet you, so how are you weird?”, it would make everything simple.

Since we don’t live in that world I shall start us off and share how I am weird. Almost every day I try and watch a scary movie, I usually put one on to help me fall asleep. When I have had a rough day, I like to binge watch the Lord of the Rings or the Jurassic Park trilogies. I laugh too much, not that it is a bad thing but often people will look at me crazy because they don’t understand what I could possibly find funny at certain moments. I pick up worms, insects, even spiders and move them away from sidewalks or squishing regions. I make facial expressions and weird sounds that cause people to either worry if I am feeling alright or cry from laughing, I consider it a form of art.

I share my freak/nerd/weirdo tendencies because I use to be insecure about all of them. As soon as I realized that I am this way and do these things because I enjoy them, I started to care less that they were different. What surprised me was how others began to react. When I share my weirdness with other people they think it is charming and feel more connected with me. Pretty soon they are telling me about the weird things they do.

Why should anyone be ashamed that they are not normal? If anyone is insecure or wants to connect with another weirdo, I am here and would love to hear about what cool quirks you have. Being different never means you are alone. I am the only me, and you are the only you, which must mean we are rocking at it.
