People are all crazy. Some people turn what makes them crazy on to other people, not wanting to take blame for the way they act. Some people are just ignorant and have no idea that any part of them is crazy. Then there are some people who know they’re crazy, not “needs to be institutionalized” kind of crazy, but the kind of crazy that we are all. We all have our own way of thinking and other people’s way of thinking can seem crazy to us. If some people are crazy to us, that means that we must seem crazy to other people at some points.
My mom has been one of the people that has known she’s crazy. She would always say something like, “If I can acknowledge that I’m crazy that must make me a little less crazy than everyone else.” Sorry mom, but you’re still crazy, the only thing admitting that you’re crazy does is that it makes you a little more rational than other people. There’s nothing wrong with not knowing that there’s a little bit of crazy in you, the most important thing we have to remember is that we shouldn’t put our problems onto other people. We have to take responsibility for our own actions.
There are a lot of very little things that make us just a little bit crazy. Some people refuse to give up in situations that seem impossible. Some people prefer a nocturnal lifestyle. Some people are self destructive and continue making bad choices because that’s just how they want to live life. There are people who hate living what society has labeled as a “normal lifestyle” and choose to be eccentric and make choices that the more society-oriented of us look at and see a bucket full of crazy. Some people’s crazy is subtle and some are right in your face and sometimes the crazy things are as simple as choosing to wear mismatched socks every day.
These things that make us crazy make us different. They make us, us. Without the things that make us crazy we would be carbon copies of each other. Differences are hard to deal with but these differences are what make the world special and make the world a beautiful place. The differences in people create conflict and help shape the world around us.
Crazy is special, crazy is different and crazy is normal. Crazy is in all of us, so it would seem that the people who aren’t just a little bit crazy are the weird ones. Embrace your crazy because we need to show off what makes us special and what makes us different.
I’m crazy because I live in my head most of the time. I live in a fantasy world and I romanticize everything. I make stupid decisions without thinking about the consequences of my actions. It’s crazy because I know what my problem is but I won’t change. That makes me crazy and that makes me who I am.
