Being lucky, being strange. Being lucky to be strange.

Hey! Thanks for reading! Just a reminder that I wrote this some years ago, and may have much more complicated feelings about this topic than I did when I wrote it. Happy to elaborate, feel free to reach out to me! 😄

The Olympics brought more opportunities for people to be hatin' on Johnny Weir and his style of performance. I love what he said: "Every little boy should be so lucky to turn into me."

And, you know, it's sort of true. How wonderful if we were all so lucky that we could freely be who we want to*, without judgement?

I bring this all up because I saw this video yesterday (the action starts at about 1:08).

If we could only all be so lucky as Johnny Weir and this guy, the world would be a much more fun, interesting place to be.

* = Provided of course, nobody gets hurt. Sorry, murderers, pedos, etc...
