IN PRAISE OF FREAKS

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!
