Being nerdy

Hellooo !!! And Welcome to Madding Slowly. But, first of all... How are you? I'm doing pretty great. I turned fifteen this past week, the 11th, so as you can guess, I am busy planning my quinceañera. Well, today has been a special day: it is the first time I've looked great in a school field trip photo, and second, I've appreciated my nerdy side. It is not that I didn't like being nerdy, but today I've appreciated it more. I think I am more the type of nerd that gets excited about STEM, but I have some interests that make me yap for three hours. And well, this person I've met is a full-on nerd, he loves comics and all of the superhero stuff. 

Having conversations with someone who understands that part of you it's soo great. I really do appreciate that about nerdy people. I feel like most of them tend not to judge you a lot because they're as weird as you. Also, I feel like "popular" people are the most boring, or at least a considerable proportion. Like, I feel most of them don't have a personality. They're just bland. For example, some people at my school. They believe they're all that shit just because they're mean and criticize people like it's a hobby. Personally, I believe that being a nerd sometimes can make you better. Not that being a nerd makes you a superior person, but it makes you have values, etc. For example, comics teaches you what is wrong and bad, but at the same time makes you question the system and more stuff that can lead you to become a better, more educated person. Honestly, I love being a weird nerdy kid, and that is totally fine. I know I can seem freaky at times, but that is who I am, and that thankfully has led me to find my people, the ones that make me a better person. They show me new perspectives, things to like, and just learning about all of this stuff is so nurturing to my soul. 

Just being weird with my best friend, Andrea, and doing something weird every day, and sharing is so comforting, sharing opinions about villains with Diego, teaching my family about this thing I'm obsessed with, or just researching something about my interests. It just makes me so happy, life is this moment we'll never have again, so why not try to know more about all and just continue learning. Literally, it's probably the first thing we do in our lives, learning how to stand up, etc. Thank you very much for reading, as always, your dearest not at all Silvia.
