Being Normal is Overrated! End of Story.

All righty, everyone! I saw a quote today that I absolutely LOVE and I feel like it describes the way I look at life perfectly, so I decided it's a must share. :) (In fact, it's even the background on my computer, along with a picture of Benedict Cumberbatch, of course.)
Here it is: Drumroll please!.........

That's completely right, folks! If you are constantly striving to be something you're not, if you are constantly trying to fit in with the "in" crowd even though that's not who you are, if you always feel as if you are trying to fit into a mold that is not you, than STOP IT. That's not right and it will NEVER feel right to you, because it's not who you are. Being yourself is the most important accomplishment you can achieve in this life, and trust me, it's hard, but you can do it! I know you can. And the first step to loving yourself for you, and being able to show yourself to others fully, as yourself, is accepting your quirks and flaws, just as they are. 

Okay, I'll start. Get you off on the right foot. I am quirky and weird. I am a nerd-I love foreign history and all things medical. I watch Adventure Time, which is meant for like ten year olds, and am an avid (obsessive) fan of BBC Sherlock (and Benedict of course). I tell stupid jokes sometimes (okay, a lot of the time), and I absolutely LOVE good food. I do not have a perfect body, I have a bunch of scars marring my skin from past surgeries, I have curves, and I am not a size zero....or a one....or a two. I have issues with commitment, touch, and letting people in who love me. Sometimes I am moody and snap at those I care about. I have to say sorry A LOT. I am not perfect, but I am me, and I accept that. 

All of you have quirks and flaws and weirdness just like I do. However, that does not mean you cannot love yourself and enjoy life just the way you are. Seriously, people! Normal is overrated! In our society, there is no such thing as "normal" anymore in my opinion. There are so many different kinds of people in our world, and so many different ways to portray yourself, so why not be who you really are? The right people are going to love you no matter what, quirks and all. :) 

So don't try to be normal. Normal is stupid. Normal is boring. Be yourself-your crazy, weird, quirky self. Because once you truly taste how amazing you can be, you'll never want to go back to plain-old boring normal ever again. So let yourself take that first step. And be amazing today. There's no better time to start. :)
