The other day a friend told me that another person commented to her about me, saying that “…..I like her, even when she says weird stuff, she is always just so genuine.”

The interpretation given to me was “…..I say and do things that are not generally common or popular, but it always comes from a genuine place.”

I am okay with being weird, but genuine – Which is probably why I took the comment as a compliment. For a good part of my life I’ve retreated away from who I really am, fearful to express my differences. But, to be classified as weird, but genuine, means (to me) that I am making progress in the right direction.
