Don’t be afraid to show the world your weird side. I think the world needs more weirdness anyway. It keeps things interesting. If you feel like skipping to class instead of walking to class, do it! If you feel like speaking in a British accent randomly, do it! If you fee like dying your hair purple, do it! If you feel like taking your pet rock with you everywhere, do it! Ok…you get the point? Whatever it is you want to do, just do it. Be your weird self.
Thanks for being bravely weird, sis.
My sister has really cut back on her weirdness. She use to do the strangest things and everyone loved her for it! I didn’t get in then, but I do now. She did what everyone was afraid of doing- she was being her true self and because of that, she radiated happiness. She was a people magnet with her anything but normal ways. She wore clothes that did not match, took her school pictures with her stuffed bunny & roller-skated downtown in a one piece bathing suit. Although she has definitely reduced her strange characteristics, she still speaks gibberish quite frequently and eats massive amounts of ketchup on anything and everything. I would love to see you skating in that one piece again, sis. 😉
My sister is the reason why I’ve come to love my weird side. And now I actually prefer being weird over being normal. To me normal = boring. Being like everyone else and doing the same things every day is so Blahhh. Keep life fun, be weird. Don’t worry about what people will think or say. People are going to criticize no matter what. Who cares!? Not me.
Ways to be weird today!
- Break your routine. Go somewhere different. Go outside when you usually go inside. Eat a different kind of food.
- Associate with people who are different than you. Find someone who is not in your “circle of friends” this week and spend some time getting to know him/her. Ask him about his childhood. Ask her about her favorite things to do. Listen.
- Find something that inspires you. Search Youtube and learn something new.
- Do something creative. Write a bad poem about sea monkeys. Buy a coloring book. Start a food Blog. Take 15 minutes to create something out of the ordinary. Take a photograph.
- Turn off the technology. Whoa, this may be a toughie for some of you. Take an hour, a day or a week and turn it ALL off. All of it. TV. Radio. (did I just say radio – who listens to that any more?) Cell phone. Computers. Twitter. All of it. Go somewhere to be alone without it. Or just sit in your house Clear your mind and think. Use a mindmap or your journal or whatever to just think about your life, something creative, anything. Just take a mental vacation. Tackle something you’ve been wanting to spend time thinking about. Just be.
