We're Not On The Island of Misfit Toys

Let people be who they desire to be. Let people be who they are.

Being a human is no easy task in and of itself, so who is anybody to put a limit on what a person can be? Everybody knows the mind and body contain an astonishing complexity. They are intricate and not fully understood, and at this point, there aren't any ways that we can fully grasp our own inner-workings.

We have traditional norms in most cultures and societies. Because of this, we also have outcasts, misfits, those who "don't belong." But hey, here's a newsflash for you: EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT. EVERY BODY IS DIFFERENT. Take the time to understand and appreciate that the human condition is not limited to you alone. Every single person has their struggles, their highs, their lows. Every person strives to understand who they are and where they fit. Here's another newsflash: We all fit. We all experience the human experience. We all collectively share emotions, moments, love, hate. All of it. There is no legitimate reason to worry about breaking traditional norms. They're bullshit. They are a construct of a past time, and the times, they are a changin'. Psychology, genetics, love, passion, emotion. That stuff is real. That's not bullshit. 

Being a human is no easy task, but when the day comes where we can all be humans and be truly together, embracing the fact that we are all one in our differences and similarities, the outcasts, the misfits, the traditionals, well, maybe things will be a bit simpler. Because guess what...

We all belong.
