Roll up, roll up.
Come see the freak.
Or just different.
You.
Freakishly watching me.
So yeah.
Spin those tables baby.

“The color of one’s creed, neckties, eyes, thoughts, manners, speech, is sure to meet somewhere in time of space with a fatal objection from a mob that hates that particular tone. And the more brilliant, the more unusual the man, the nearer he is to the stake. Stranger always rhymes with danger. The meek prophet, the enchanter in his cave, the indignant artist, the nonconforming little schoolboy, all share in the same sacred danger. And this being so, let us bless them, let us bless the freak; for in the natural evolution of things, the ape would perhaps never have become man had not a freak appeared in the family.”
― Vladimir Nabokov, Lectures on Literature -

I’m not sure I can find the appropriate words for this. I would say comforting, for I am often cast in the “freak” category. When something makes you FEEL you know it’s good.

I couldn’t agree more. It’s all about letting others pre-conceived notions go and living your life the way that works for you. If that is considered weird by others then you’re probably doing it right.
