National Peculiar People Day
Celebrate the strange and unusual people in your life on #NationalPeculiarPeopleDay
10 January is National Peculiar People Day, a day which was specifically created for those who believe it is not bad to be extraordinary.
Many people believe that normal people set the world in motion, but it has been shown time and time again that this is not always true. Whenever there has been a sweeping change in the world, it has almost always been at the hands of someone who refuses to accept things as they are. They challenge established ideas and overturn age-old conventions. They look for the horison in every field in an attempt to determine what is there, and bring joy by breaking out of the concepts used to define “a normal and healthy life”.
National Peculiar People Day was designed to celebrate a certain kind of person – the one that is just a little out of sync with everyone else. It can be someone who has a peculiar and strange style of speaking, an antiquated style of dress or they may be living a modern life as if they are part of an era gone by. They may be cosplayers or part of the Star Wars Fandom, or maybe they play an unusual instrument or practice an odd religion. This day is their special day.
To celebrate National Peculiar People Day, you can start off by celebrating those in your life who are already strange and unusual. This day is the perfect opportunity for you to give that one friend, who always adds a little spice to your life and ensures that even the most normal event is somewhat offbeat, some recognition and the appreciation he/ she deserves.
If you are one of the peculiar ones, today is also your opportunity to let your hair down and fly your freak flag high. Don’t allow anyone else to tell you what is appropriate and normal, go out there and shake up the world with your unique personality.
Remember, it is always the peculiar ones who change the world – so get out there today and let your inner oddball loose!
