Quirky

I have always been a little different. I am not a stereotypical girl. I was the kid who always asked, “Why?” I don’t follow the crowd, whether it be fashion or some other fad. I like what I like because I like it, not because some celebrity says I should. I am a geek and an artist. I like sci-fi and action films. And my taste in music can only be described as schizophrenic.

I march to the beat of my own drum. I’m not really worried what people may think of me. There’s a line in the song, “Garden Party” by Ricky Nelson that always stuck with me. “It’s all right now, I learned my lesson well. You see, you can’t please everyone, so you got to please yourself.” It doesn’t mean for you to be selfish, it just means that it’s impossible to please everyone, no matter what you do.

Standards change over time. What is considered “weird” now, may be “normal” next week, or next month, or next year. The bottom line is to be true to yourself and it will all work out in the end.
