Where My Weirdos At?

Stay Weird

“What makes you different makes you strong.”

~Arcane: League of Legends

I am the first to admit I’m weird. (Of course, you already knew that – unless you’re new to the blog) But I didn’t always walk around with “strange” printed across my forehead. I went to great lengths to disguise the bizarre twists of my brain. Mainly because that’s what the world expects from you. Weird? It’s not exactly “cool” – at least not in polite society. (Whatever that is)

Going through the struggle of self-acceptance took time. And a reality check as I realized my weirdness wasn’t about to disappear quietly into an attic somewhere. So when CRY Magazine posted a prompt on embracing a part of yourself, it felt like fate:

Welcome to Weirdsville

As I believe in transparency, I’ll add a handy note that I belong to Medium’s Partner Program. Reading contributes pennies (literally) to my notebook fund. Or, as they’re running low, possibly fresh tabs. (My narwhals are almost depleted)

I speak the thoughts rattling around in my brain, sharing topics I think other people want and should hear (or are afraid to talk about themselves). I bring my personality and quirky state of mind to everything I write; serious topics shouldn't be devoid of humor. That includes my blog and freelance work (part of my charm). I've been writing for as long as I can remember. It's a source of solace and enjoyment for me. I'm lucky enough to call what I love my career - so it's NOT work! I live in Virginia with the Minions (four cats and a Greyhound) and my wonderful husband, who ensures I stay fed - no cereal for dinner - and as close to sane as I can get.
