If you Deviate,
Are You a Deviant?
The word deviant gets used like an insult.
As if deviation means wrong.
Bad.
Broken.
It doesn’t.
It simply means you didn’t follow the norm.
And let’s be honest.
Why would you want to?
Normal is average.
Average is the bottom of the top.
The top of the bottom.
The cream of the crap.
Normal means doing what most people do.
Thinking what most people think.
Living how most people live.
...And most people live lives of quiet desperation.
Same routines.
Same conversations.
Same complaints.
Different faces.
The well trodden path is popular for a reason.
It feels safe.
Predictable.
Socially acceptable.
But it rarely leads anywhere extraordinary.
Every breakthrough.
Every innovation.
Every fulfilled life.
Came from someone willing to deviate.
Someone who was labelled difficult.
Different.
Too much.
Unconventional.
Not because they were wrong.
But because they didn’t fit.
Deviating doesn’t make you a deviant.
It makes you conscious.
It means you questioned the default.
You chose curiosity over comfort.
You took the road less travelled.
And yes, it’s harder.
Lonelier.
Less applauded.
But the rewards are bigger.
Freedom.
Fulfilment.
Ownership of your own life.
So if you deviate, good.
You’re probably on the right path.
The masses can keep the norm.
I’ll take the view from the road they were too afraid to walk.
