This is to the crazy one, the misfit đ
Do you sometimes feel like âthe crazy one?â
the ONE who sticks out.
the ONE whoâs too loud.
the ONE who doesnât follow the crowd.
The ONE whoâs too emotional.
You think, âWhat the f*** is wrong with me?!!!â đłđłđł
Or maaaaybe youâre just a misfit â many nâbetweeners are.
A misfit is a person who does not conform to the norms, expectations, or behaviors imposed by society. Misfits often feel like they donât quite âfit inâ with the mainstream, leading them to stand out as unique.
I feel that way right now. Iâm currently in Copenhagen, and I feel like the odd one here everywhere I go. When Iâm on the train filled with people, the silence invades the space until I hear my belly growl with hunger. When I talk to strangers and they stare as if saying, "Why are you talking to me?" When I sing out loud while biking. When I walk in my colorful outfits.
In all these moments, I feel like a misfit.
Misfits have a bad rep cause of our "craziness" or "wildness." There is wisdom to our neurotic parts. There is power to standing out.
Society has this thing where it tries to put people into neat little boxes. But as misfits, weâre more like wildflowers â growing wherever we please, not caring about the garden lines. đźđ¸
So letâs give a big shout-out to weirdness. Whether itâs your quirky sense of humor, your unique taste in music, or that hobby everyone else just doesnât get â these are the things that make you YOU.
Not fitting in doesnât mean youâre broken; it means youâre free. Free to be yourself, to explore your own path, and to redefine what it means to belong.
Belonging is actually the opposite of fitting in.
You donât make a difference fitting in. You do STANDING out. Thatâs where the magic happens. â¨
I know, being a misfit isnât always easy. It can get lonely. That said, being a misfit isnât about rejection; itâs about rebellion. Itâs about refusing to conform to a world thatâs too small for your big, beautiful self.
Can you belong to what most matters to you?
When you let yourself come closer to your congruent self, you ironically begin to find a deeper sense of belonging. Youâre not wasting time on people, activities, or things you âshould do.â
I have such space for you, misfit. Where your quirks and oddness don't stick out.
Where we celebrate everything that makes us gloriously different, delightfully strange, and unapologetically out of place. đ¤Ş
A space where weâre celebrating all of YOU.
A 6-month program for nâbetweeners ready for radical transformation. Thereâs a whole world of people out there who feel just like you do. Thatâs why Iâve created The nest, so you feel like coming home.
Itâs a unique space for you to create the change youâve been longing for. It begins January 2025.
Would you rather spend the rest of your life fitting in or doing what matters to you most?
Donât try to conform.
Get your đ in The nest before it's too late.
You donât want to miss this opportunity.
Keep being bold, keep being strange, and, most importantly, keep being you.
XO
Nora
