I’ve had a lot of very quirky friends.
Creative, intellectual, intelligent, talented – ‘out there’ friends.
Unfortunately, they were all, to various degrees, sociopathic and pathological in their habits e.g. alcohol, drugs, co-dependency in relationships. Not pretty and, in the end, rather explosive!
But, I will still stand in praise of the freaks but a different kind of freak now – the ones that get things done, solutions people, the outliers, those making a real difference by helping others.
Let’s face it, there are so many social media platforms and search engines with millions or even billions of people on them and a multitude of ways to befriend them.
Let’s start lifting the great personalities more and express our own unique voices.
It’s time to freak out – in a fun way!
