I Have Something to Say
Any Color You Like~
As the Cheshire cat once said- "I am not crazy, my sense of reality is different from yours".
There is no such thing as "weird", or "normal". How could we possibly be weird, or normal if we are all different in our own way?
Every human being has their own model of how the world works and should work. This model has been shaped by everything that the person has experienced, and continues to be shaped by each and every of his or her experiences. Furthermore, the person interacts with the world congruent with his model of the world. Each person has their own unique set of experiences, which is what makes each person interact differently with the world. Normal is an illusion. It’s an idea we get in our heads about what our lives should look like influenced by society, the media, friends, family and a million other things.
Weirdness usually is, in fact, potential strength waiting to be harnessed. Throughout history, the best and brightest among us, the great creators and innovators, have been those willing to stand out and risk being perceived as weird.
When I allow you to be you, and you allow me to be me, without judgement or criticism of each other, we are free to harness and grow the strength of our respective differences. Everybody is weird and therefore nobody is.
We all have traits — physical, intellectual, emotional, etc. — that make us different.
The Ego says that differences are flaws that should be hidden. The truth is that what makes you different is your superpower. You just haven’t learned how to harness the power yet. Instead of hiding your weirdness, learn how to use it. Your shyness, for example, might make you a better listener. Your awkward laugh might make you endearing. Our quirks, when we master them, contain great power.
What makes you weird makes you memorable.
When you try to fit into somebody else’s mold the results will be mediocre. Nobody pays money to see the expected; they pay money to see the captivating. Your true self, by its very nature, is captivating. People won’t remember the thing you did that everybody can do, but they will remember the thing you did that only you can do.
The true question we should ask is what is healthy for another, not weird.
