Naturally Lefty

Growing up I never “fit in” and I always thought it was because of my skin color or my culture (and we moved a lot!). As I leveled up, I realized that standing out and defining my own is much better than fitting in.

We’ve been taught since childhood to follow the crowd, color inside the lines, and stick to the script. But the truth? Being “weird” isn’t a flaw—it’s a rare, unrepeatable gift. It means you’re limited edition, and that’s something to be proud of.

What Does It Even Mean to Be Weird?

The word “weird” is often misunderstood. It usually just means someone who doesn’t conform to what’s considered “normal.” But here’s the thing: normal is just a setting on a washing machine. Real people are layered, unique, and wonderfully unpredictable.

Being weird means you think differently. You may express yourself through bold fashion, quirky humor, niche interests, or wild ideas. It means you’re not afraid to show up as your authentic self, even when the world tries to mold you into something else. And that takes courage.

The World Doesn’t Need More Copies

Look around you—every great innovator, artist, thinker, or changemaker was once considered “weird.” They weren’t interested in blending in. They were too busy creating, questioning, and dreaming. From Albert Einstein to Lady Gaga, Steve Jobs to Frida Kahlo—history is full of “weirdos” who changed the world simply by refusing to be anyone else but themselves.

Imagine if they had tried to fit in instead. The world would be a lot less colorful, a lot less inspiring, and a lot less them. The world would be boring.

Being Weird Is a Superpower

You see things others don’t. You feel deeply, imagine vividly, and bring energy into spaces that feel dull without you. That’s your magic. Embrace it. Stop apologizing for the things that make you different. Start celebrating them.

Because being weird means being rare.

Being weird means being real.

Being weird means being limited edition.

Final Thoughts

So if you’ve ever been called weird, take it as a compliment. You’re not here to blend in. You’re here to shine in your own strange, spectacular way. The world doesn’t need more of the same—it needs more of you.

Keep being weird. Keep being you. And never forget: limited editions are worth far more than mass-produced copies.
