Top 10 Quotes to Inspire You to Stay Weird (and Love It)

Feeling different from other people can be a very scary thing. As humans we have a need to connect and to belong, to be accepted and embraced by the world and our loved ones. To avoid the visceral pain of rejection, we sometimes deny and suppress our inherent uniqueness -- and in doing so, stifle the very source of our greatness and potential.

Being weird is a wonderful thing. And while the road for non-conformists may well be a hard one, the reward is a life lived in harmony with ourselves, in alignment with our true passions, and in deep connection with the only people around us who should matter.
