Normal
I can tell you about so many people I’ve met over the last few years who are scared to death of being weird, being outsiders, or just failing to match what they think society expects of them. I don’t know what life really looks like when you live like that.
But I can also tell you about people who choose to be who they are — in other words: insane, lunatics, weirdos, and beautiful, fun souls who truly live their lives. I have had the pleasure of meeting more and more of this second type, and it’s so refreshing. To meet people who ask you real questions, to hear about their inner worlds, their doubts, and their dreams.

What is life without those things? An echo? Are “normal” people just passing through here for 80-something years and living like nothing matters? How is that possible?
How do you explain these thoughts to “normal” people? What is it like to be completely alive and immersed in this world? To allow yourself to feel, to let life touch you, to let yourself fall so deeply in love with life that you can’t see anything else?
But there is light in everybody. I am sure there is something that makes your heart dance, your body feels light, and touches your true soul. You just need to be. To breathe. Don’t shy away from your deepest fears. Think of yourself as a guest in this world. What would you like to feel? What would you like to touch? How would you like to see this world? What is really exciting for you?
If someone asked me what I want to be when I grow up, this is the answer: I want to help people find their “why.” Find their path. Connect them to their inner light.
