5 Reasons Being Weird Is Okay

Because normal can get boring.

On a day to day basis people would call me crazy. When I respond with “Well I prefer the term weird,” I get a number of reactions. Some people laugh, some people question me and others just let the statement go. It’s hard to fully admit when people are outside the “normal” scale, trust me it took me a couple years. Here are some reasons to admit to yourself being weird is an okay thing.

1. Your personality could reflect on it.

You know those people, the ones with the outgoing personalities. Usually those people express the most weirdness out of them all. Although I’ve seen people with other personalities express a level of weirdness I can’t top myself.

2. There are different types of weird.

From that one socially awkward person who can’t fully express themselves because no one will let them, to the guy in the street corner putting on a one man show, there’s no stopping the amounts of weirdness that come alive in one or more persons.

3. It doesn’t always have to be called weird.

Especially for those who don’t fully called you weird (like I mentioned in the beginning). The more ways you call it, the better it is for everyone.

4. Most social events are perfect for you.

From parties with your friends to other family events, your level of weirdness could be just the right amount. It could probably even kick things off.

5. Being weird, is being yourself!

There’s no one stopping you from being yourself unless they truly want to change you. If they want to get rid of your weirdness then they are not the people for you.

In short, I love being who I am with the right people. There’s endless possibilities of discovering myself no matter what day or month out of the year. So for those in the same boat as me, stay weird!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
