This list could get a lot longer, but I am confident you can see the pattern. If you noticed yourself saying, “Yes…that’s me” a few times, you are almost certainly one of the Blessed Weird people to whom I am writing. Welcome to humanity’s dream team. The world needs us to know who we are. It also needs us to do our thing like never before.

Andr é a Balt, founder of Rebelle Society and Creative Rehab, wrote, “Your weirdness will make you stronger, your dark side will keep you whole, your vulnerability will connect you to the suffering of our world, your creativity will set you free. There is nothing wrong with you.”

I don’t like exclusive clubs and that’s not what I’m trying to set up here. We didn’t show up in this time and place to look down on the normal world—even though it has been disregarding us for many, many years. This isn’t about taking revenge or helping karma right a lot of wrongs. That does nothing but activate what Transactional Analysis founder Stephen Karpman called “The Drama Triangle” in which the Victim becomes the Persecutor who is then confronted by the Rescuer—and the cycle continues.

No, this is about stepping out of that ages-old wheel of pain and simply being who we are in truth and beauty. That is what the world desperately needs, even if it does not know how to ask for it nicely yet. You and I, with all our cracks and quirks, are called forward to form a vanguard of something new.
