Embrace your quirks and weirdness ...

I felt called to write this as a reminder after a discussion with a friend who’d been holding things back in order to fit in, and it got me thinking about even myself the things I still hold back on despite being openly quirky and a bit weird etc.

We live in a world where it would be boring if everyone was the same that’s for sure. We look around us in nature, which truly in itself is weird and wonderful and is unapologetic about it.

Yet we grow up in a world in many modern society’s being told we need to conform, don’t be too weird, don’t be different or quirky.

Basically if you follow the formula you will grow up, be ok and fit in.

Firstly, who decided what’s weird and quirky, and what does that even mean. If it’s not hurting anyone and is actually allowing a person to be truly themselves, I say embrace your weird and own it.

Here’s the thing your quirks and weird is actually your super power the place where your truly authentic, and I know this word is chucked around a lot but it has its place.

What is your quirk or your bit of weird?

Often so many of us have suppressed ourselves since growing up for the fear of not always fitting in, and we end up holding this in our bodies carrying it around.

I know for me I actually was able to embrace my weird alternative spiritual witchy priestess wild self growing up which is a privilege in itself, there was of course some suppression and of course sometimes this involved peoples comments. It did however make me in adulthood feel I could openly express myself more easily rather than hide away, but I totally understand why people do feel like they gotta keep their weird pushed down in order to fit into the places where they are.

Let’s encourage each other and begin the process of unmasking our quirks and weird what ever it may be, its probably best to begin in safe spaces. Trust me you will prob have a big sense of what feels safe here, your nervous system will know it. Your throat area will feel it and even if you don’t know it initially, as you embrace your weirdness this area will open up.

Freeing yourself of the trauma you felt of being different or feeling quirky is something to unpack, and how that feels in your body and it will take time, healing and love. It will be a process of unravelling and there will be things to grieve and you will need to be kind to yourself about this too. You will have to fall in love with yourself over and over again, knowing it’s safe to truly be you.

There, maybe out side discomfort from people around you when you embrace your quirks and weirdness which of course is not always easy to navigate.

The truth is no one is perfect and we are all in a word navigating life with all the layers that it presents us with.

So my loves, let's bring more of our weird to the table, I appreciate you may have to start small, its worth remembering no matter how small we have to begin somewhere, gradually this brings us back to life little by little. Before we know it we are embodying our weirdness with more ease.

You are perfect just as you are, weirdness quirks and all never forget that!

I will keep embracing hugely diverse music tastes, my witchy priestess spiritual side, my sexual side, fashion, fine dining, my love of alternative ideas, the deeply devotional side, my interest in politics and all the sides, my vast film choice some of which maybe very questionable to some lol, the fact I love seals, whales, Miffy the rabbit and care bears and soft toys and I sleep with crystals. I’m a walking multi dimensional person and I fully own that and it helps me step into my power and my magic.

None of us are for everyone and you know what thats ok, because the ones you are for they will love you just as you are.

This is where we find grace!

Imagine encouraging the young people around us to fully be themselves to step into their power just as they are unashamedly and embracing all their quirks.

I hope you enjoyed this and share with me your weirdness here.

All my love
