About this ebook
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:
#1 I was born with a hole in my heart, and I have always felt too open to life. I never felt like I fit in, and I often revealed too much or placed myself in awkward situations that those with more savoir-faire would not have risked.
#2 The world needs us to unlock the codes and symbols that are inside us. We need to embrace our differences and find genius in the anomalous beauty of ourselves.
#3 The word weird has strong ties to the ideas of fate and destiny. It was originally used to describe the Fates or Norns in Norse mythology, who controlled human destiny as they cared for great Yggdrasil, the World Tree from which everything springs.
#4 We were born in a special era with important gifts. It is easy to look at those who seem to have smooth paths and wonder what is wrong with us. But it is worth everything to live by our own lights and know for sure that we are doing our own thing in this world.
