We need to embrace our weirdness and never forget it.

sirkkis said...

Strait, wise words from myselves 😉👍
Enjoy weekend ahead 🥰

Moving with Mitchell said...

I think you’re magnificent and magical. I’m going to channel my inner weird little boy AND SPARKLE!

Marie Smith said...

“Weird it out,” indeed. Love that!

Mistress Maddie said...

When I get away with something that someone else did too but gets in trouble for it, and ask why I didn't, I should use the last meme!!!

Sixpence Notthewiser said...

Hahahaha
Because it fucking sparkles is my new fav excuse for everything!
And those dickheads ARE wrong.

XOXO

gz said...

Yessss!!!!😎❤️🌌

Travel said...

Inspiring!

Hello Debra,

Well, we can identify with each and every one of these sayings.

Being different from the rest in whatever way is, we feel, becoming more and more difficult as we are constantly manoeuvred into compliance or uniformity. We always felt that what was a wonderful characteristic of the British was their eccentricity but this seems to have evaporated.

Bring back diversity, difference, being out of step or just be weird.

Inner weird little girl becomes strong confident woman!

baili said...

This seems for me specially 🥹
As they say “being yourself is hardest “ only because how you are treated by others afterwards,but it’s most liberating 🥰

Bob said...

I need that last one as a button!!

I enjoy the weird and odd and different; makes life spicier!

Pixie said...

Your body is a piece of the universe, love this. I'm stealing this:)

Boud said...

I've never felt being weird was a choice!

lissa said...

Good advices. Now if only we can all be our weird little selves.

Have a lovely day.

Kathy G said...

The 'wear pink' one!

Cleora Borealis said...

🌌✨️💫 Thank you, Debra!! I am a sparkly piece of the universe who is too fab for negativity and I will take up all the awkward space I want!! 😎👅💃

Ms. Moon said...

How did we survive before memes? They tickle me so much.

Cleora Borealis said...

P.S. "Too Fab For Your Negativity!" 😁😎 That would be a great political slogan for Democrats going into the midterms...if we are willing to live up to it!! 🤨 Happy Friday!! 😃😃
[Of course, we might have to pay royalties because the t-shirts and stickers and buttons already exist. I also like the versions with a cat showing its butthole and the the skateboarding duck!]

Granny Annie said...

I have had way too much pink laundry. LOL

RedPat said...

Weird goes on!

Tom said...

...always remember, normal is merely a setting on a washing machine.

Bill Lisleman said...

Diversity is a benefit to progress not a problem.

Bill said...

I married a weird woman and wouldn't want her any other way.

Lady M said...

I love the idea that we are star stuff and that we will return to star stuff. In a way we get recycled over and over.

angela said...

They’re all true. Especially that last one.
Definitely something I’d say lol

Mike said...

I'm weirding as much as I can today.

Leanna said...

I love that last one. "Because I fucking sparkle. . . " but change the it to "I fucking sparkle because I'm🎵fabulous🎶."

Catalyst said...

Beautiful! Especially the last one! 😈😄

Kirk said...

Oh, God, I identify with all of these, including the ones feminine in nature (which is why, to a select group of people, I identify as a "he/they")

Martha said...

Seriously laughed out loud about wearing pink. I have always been famous for doing things like that, or even worse, accidentally washing something new that's black with other clothes that come out of the wash gray.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Kirk -- Yes, there truly is nothing more important than being our true selves!

Fundy Blue said...

Here's to people who embrace who they are. I've been weird all my life. 😂. Love the sparkle quote!

Duni said...

Absolutely! Totally agree with the tiny buddha one!

whkattk said...

Laundry...it's one of the reasons I no longer do that chore. LOL.

Sparkle - YES!

Rade said...

Memes keep us sane.

Tundra Bunny said...

This is why I forgo red t-shirts and buy the dark pink ones instead!

DB Stewart said...

Yes yes yes to attempting to make your inner weirdo kid happy.

DVArtist said...

I'm so hyper-weird that just weird seems normal. LOL

LA Paylor said...

not everyone (my autistic husband for instance) gets my sparkle
or my offerings to the world
I didn't know he was autistic when we married, thought he was just so smart... oy vey... 32 years later my struggles make more sense
thanks for listening LOL

CaptainKirt said...

I embraced my true self some time ago and I often get complimented.

Mary Kirkland said...

These are great. I agree with them.

Linda's Relaxing Lair said...

The pink 💗 laundry one made me laugh 😃

How do we know said...

Yeah being weird comes naturally to me. :) Yay to this post!

Ur-spo said...

I disagree about needing to be the weird woman in order to survive. If the dames want to survive they have to be quiet, obedient, and not question things - but who wants to 'survive'? WW (also Warrior Women) may go prematurely but they go the best route. Good for them!

Polly said...

Growing up I was always told to "Be a good girl" and did as I was told. Now I'm an old lady I enjoy being not so good, quirky and sparkling😄

Liz Hinds said...

I want to be this woman - but sometimes I hold her in.

The Happy Whisk said...

I thought of you this past week. First, love the pink laundry. My Christmas jammies have a hint of pink because of this. But here's what I heard someone say recently and thought of you.

She said, and I quote: "Let's get one thing straight and two things gay."

I told Tim, I gotta tell Debra that. I've never heard that before (that I recall), and it's just so darn cute.

Let's get one thing straight and two things gay. Ha! Love it. Then she listed stuff that she wanted to get straight and gay. It was pretty good.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ The Happy Whisk -- Oh, I love this, Ivy! I've never heard it before, either, LOL. Thanks for passing it on!

e said...

I love every single one of these! This is how we live our one true life! Thank you, D!

The Happy Whisk said...

Sure thing. As soon as she said it I though of you and if my email was working, would have emailed it to you. It's such a good line!
