#WeirdoThinking
It's come to my attention that recently in social media and viral threads that 'being comfortable in your own skin' is something that's being promoted on a global scale. It's great to see that the more eccentric of us individuals are getting some exposure in this too! For years we've been isolated and sometimes bullied for being slightly 'weird' by society which of course translates as just being happy in our own skin.
I was drawn to an article titled 'Why Weirdos Are The Best People to Fall in Love With' that I saw on viralthread.com because I was always described as weird, which as the article explains, it just means I was comfortable being me.
Regardless of weirdos in love, I think it's about promoting a new mindset and encouraging new generations to not be persuaded by the media everywhere to be a certain way. Being positive and outgoing shouldn't be considered odd or an unorthodox way of living life, but accepted and inspiring.
Speaking as a true weirdo and not ashamed to admit it, I feel that each day is a fresh start in life almost. I can choose whether to eat too much or too little, who I meet, what I learn and so on - this makes life a little more exciting. Plus as a naturally positive person having seen the world in most of it's true colours, I realise just how lucky I am to be healthy and to have the things I have, not to mention the amazing people I have around me.
I hope people who are perhaps a little afraid to be themselves can read this and feel encouraged to start tomorrow new. It's ok to be approachable but of course, as with anything, there's always a fine line :)
