I can be a weird dude. I get really excited about things other people don’t, like Star Wars and good cheeses. I am 100% comfortable sitting in a movie theatre alone. I just am cool with doing things a bit different than your average dude. The average path in life is a good path, I just don’t fit on that path. In many ways I am grateful I have chosen and been given a weird path through life.
I think my path has been part choice and part nudging from God. Things have turned out bizarrely time and time again for me. I don’t understand it, I think at this point in life I don’t care if I understand all of it. Everyone has weird events and weird tendencies in their personalities. It feels like I am starting to collect a few more weirdnesses than what is normal. At first this weird path was hard to walk, but now I just let the weirdness flow through and around me. I could not imagine walking a normal path, this weird path brings too many gifts.
This weird path has given me so many gifts, so many I am still learning what some of them mean. The biggest gift of taking an odd path for me is that I am starting to see things differently than other people. My life is not what someone would design for themselves, its not what I would have designed. Going where I have and doing what I’ve done I just can’t view life with the same lens anymore. I think this gives me a great potential to create some cool things. I believe its easier for weirdos to create cool things than normal. So I’m leaning into the weird. I hope that this path leads somewhere cool, I’m not far enough down it to really know yet.
I hope all this weird I am living with moves me somewhere good. I know this different mindset I have now is useful, so I must just use it. Weird is a good thing. Doing the normal thing at every turn, well that is boring. I am not that weird. I am just glad I’m not the average dude.
