Back in 1985 the late John Hughes wrote the words, “We're all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all.” For those of you that grew up watching The Breakfast Club (1985) it was the first movie that really showed the complexities of being a teen. Trying to figure out who you are, peer pressure, cliques, feeling like an outcast, family turmoil, and the pressures from family-all were displayed in the characters in this John Hughes movie.
Although Hughes himself was in his thirties when he made this film, he never forgot what it was like to be a teen. He never forgot how odd we could all feel and no matter what our outsides looked liked we were all really going through the same things.
As I have entered my 48th year I have never forgotten how weird I am. This quote from this iconic film from the 80's is a reminder that all those things that make us who we are can be seen as bizarre and that some people hide it better than others. I have never been good at lying especially to myself-so I embrace the weird and bizarre and accept that it what it is. What you see is what you get and so much more.
We are all pretty bizarre, aren't we?
