Thursday thought: Just be weird

Some advice for you, or to pass along to your kids, on being who you are – and exploring that to see where it’ll take you.

Just be weird. Who gives a shit? I can’t think of anything less interesting than normal. Normal isn’t for everyone.

Fellas, this goes for you and your kids both: it’s important to remember that all the actors and musicians and creators loved by your friends and parents and critics were the weird kids.

The people you call friends, the people you love – many of them will say your dreams are wishful thinking, “don’t quit your dayjob”, and that you should study medicine for when it doesn’t work out.

That’s okay.

Just prove ’em wrong.
