Weird or Normal

Would you rather be weird or normal? That was the question. I said it can’t be answered. Weird and normal are relative. The definition for both lies within each individual’s perspective. What you may believe to be weird, I may believe to be quite normal. It would be unfair for any of us to use our own point of reference as the universal standard. My perspective on the definitions are a result of my life’s experience, and we all have a unique experience. Part of my experience is the gift of being a therapist. I am privy to the spectrum of the human experience, and get to see that we all have issues, troubles, things to work through, guilt and shame, insecurities, etc. It is normalizing and validating to know that all people, regardless of their demographic, is dealing with a challenge, something others could define as “weird.” I wish everyone to know that their “weird” is actually the status quo, that we all have our “things,” and there truly is no “normal," I hope that everyone can come to the conclusion that they just want to be themselves, weirdly normal or normally weird, but just themselves.
