I know I am not “normal”.  I have known that for quite some time now.  I spent years trying to be “normal” – years trying to fit in with the other “normal” people.  Somewhere in adulthood I gave up on that though…over time it just seemed less important to be “normal” and more important to be me.

I like people who are different.  I gravitate toward them.  There is a courage and confidence to be found in those who embrace their difference.  There is something so alluring about folks who are content to be uniquely themselves no matter what the “normal” people are doing.  Difference is daring and invigorating – difference is alive with possibilities.

I wish I had spent less time in my life trying to be “normal” and more time being uniquely me.  Dr. Seuss said it best, “Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you.”

Be different – be you – be alive with possibilities. 😉
