Whatever Doesn T Kill You Makes You Stranger

Ever heard that saying, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger?" Yeah, well, I think it's only partially true. I'm convinced that the real ending should be, "Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stranger." And honestly, isn't that way more fun?

Embrace the Weird

Think about it. You go through a tough breakup. Do you come out of it exactly the same? Nope! Maybe you develop an uncanny ability to predict which rom-coms will make you cry the hardest. Or perhaps you start wearing exclusively bright yellow clothes because "it brings you joy."

See? Stranger.

It's not about being damaged, it's about being modified. Life throws curveballs, and instead of just catching them and throwing them back, we're busy adding glitter and googly eyes to them. That's how we roll!

The Evidence is Everywhere!

Remember that time you accidentally dyed your hair green while trying to go blonde? Did it kill you? Probably just your social life for a week (okay, maybe a month). But afterwards, you probably weren’t afraid of taking other risks.

Suddenly, you're rocking a new funky hairstyle and signing up for that pottery class you always wanted to try. Hello, transformed you!

Or what about the time you got hopelessly lost in a foreign country, only to stumble upon the most amazing little cafe serving the best coffee of your life? You might have emerged with a newfound obsession with obscure coffee beans and the desire to learn a brand-new language.

That's not strength; that's delightful eccentricity!

It's All About Perspective

Of course, not all experiences are sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes, "not killing you" feels like a really low bar. But even in those moments, the changes are happening.

Maybe you develop a wicked sense of sarcasm or a profound appreciation for the simple things in life. These are all little quirks that make you, well, you.

And these quirks, these beautiful imperfections, are what make life interesting!

Don't Be Afraid to Be a Little Off

So, the next time something tough happens, don't just focus on getting stronger. Embrace the weirdness! Lean into the changes! Let the experience mold you into a wonderfully unique individual.

Instead of fearing that you're becoming "different," celebrate it. After all, normal is boring. Let the world see your stripes, your polka dots, your slightly mismatched socks.

Be the fabulous, slightly off-kilter version of yourself that you were always meant to be.
