You’re Only Weird Until You Find Your People by Adeline Atlas
May 19, 2025
“Weird” is just another word for “original.” And the people who get it? They’re out there — watching, scrolling, praying for someone just like you to be bold enough to be real. The moment you drop the mask, you stop chasing — and your people start finding you.
Welcome back to Soul Renovation. I’m Adeline Atlas — 7-times published author.
You’re only weird until you find your people. And I say this all the time — because it’s one of those truths that will free you if you actually believe it. Whatever it is that makes you feel too different, too deep, too loud, too soft, too sensitive, too intense, too quirky — is the exact thing that your people are searching for.
But they can’t find you if you’re not being you. They can’t recognize your energy if you’re too busy filtering it to be accepted by people who aren’t even meant for you. You’re not too much — you’re just misaligned. And the minute you show up — like really show up — your energy becomes magnetic to the people who are wired to resonate with it.
We’ve all had that moment. You say something real. Something raw. Something “weird.” And instead of crickets, someone locks eyes with you — virtually or in person — and says, “Wait. You too?” That’s the moment of recognition. That’s the power of owning your truth in public. It calls in the ones who’ve been hiding in the dark corners, waiting for you to go first.
There are millions of people online right now scrolling, searching, sifting through highlight reels — and starving for something real. For someone they can relate to. For someone who talks like them, thinks like them, prays like them, sees the world through a similar lens. They’re not looking for polish — they’re looking for permission. Permission to exist, to express, to explore their own edges without shame.
But if you’re hiding the exact parts of you that they need to see? If you’re toning it down, cleaning it up, smoothing it out to be “palatable”? You’re missing the point. You’re delaying the connection. Because the only way to find your people is to be your people. You have to be the kind of energy you want to attract. Not the masked version. The unfiltered, fully present, honest version.
And here’s what’s even more wild — when you start showing up as yourself online? You won’t just find your people — they’ll find you. You’ll start getting DMs like, “I don’t even know how I found your page, but I needed this today.” Or, “It feels like you’re saying exactly what I’ve been thinking.” Or, “Thank you for existing. I didn’t know people like me were out here.” That’s not marketing. That’s alignment.
You don’t need a million followers. You don’t need a perfect feed. You don’t need to perform. You just need to show up and be real. Your weirdness — the stuff you try to hide? That’s what makes you memorable. That’s what makes you resonate. That’s what makes your people say, “Finally. Someone like me.”
And let’s be honest — the people who don’t get you? They’re not your audience. They’re not your clients. They’re not your tribe. So let them scroll. Let them judge. Let them unfollow. That’s not rejection — that’s refinement. You don’t want everyone. You want your people. The ones who hear you and feel seen. The ones who don’t just consume — they connect.
So if you’re listening to this and holding back your truth because you think it’s “too much,” let me remind you: your truth is the key. Your vibe is the invitation. Your voice is the filter. Say what you mean. Share what you’re passionate about. Speak on what you’ve survived. Teach what you’ve lived. The more real you are, the easier it is for your people to find you — and the harder it is for the wrong ones to stick around.
