Being weird isn’t just okay—it’s often a hallmark of brilliance. Throughout history, many of the most revolutionary thinkers, artists, and inventors were considered strange or out of place in their time. Nikola Tesla talked to pigeons and claimed to receive visions from other worlds. Albert Einstein was so absent-minded that he forgot simple daily routines, yet he redefined our understanding of the universe. Emily Dickinson barely left her house, writing some of the most profound poetry in complete solitude. Salvador Dalí embraced surrealism with outlandish behavior and bizarre imagery, pushing the boundaries of art. Their "weirdness" wasn’t a flaw—it was a reflection of the unique ways their minds worked, allowing them to see patterns, ask questions, and imagine possibilities that others couldn’t. In a world that often values conformity, being weird means you’re paying attention to things others overlook, thinking in directions that haven’t yet been explored. It's not about being different for the sake of it—it's about being true to the inner world that makes you, you. So if you feel out of sync with the world around you, take heart: your quirks might be the very spark that leads to your greatest contributions.
