Owning Your Inner Freak and Why It’s Time to Let It Shine

Alright, let’s cut to the chase, you’ve got an inner freak. Yep, you. Whether it’s a quiet, candlelit kind of freak or a full blown latex wearing, handcuff swinging extravaganza, it’s in there. The real question is: are you letting it out to play, or are you keeping it locked away like it’s the family secret no one talks about at Thanksgiving dinner?

Spoiler alert: It’s time to own it.

Step 1: Accept That You’re a Bit Weird

Newsflash: Everyone is weird. Yes, even Susan from HR who knits scarves for her cats and only listens to 80s pop. We’ve all got quirks, kinks, and fantasies, and the sooner you accept yours, the sooner you can start having fun with them.

Think of it this way: what’s more boring than trying to act “normal” all the time? Answer: nothing. Normal is overrated. Let your freak flag fly, you’ll be happier, more fulfilled, and honestly, you’ll probably look great doing it.

Step 2: Define Your Freakiness

“Freaky” can mean a lot of things. For some, it’s trying a new position in the bedroom; for others, it’s joining a dungeon party where the dress code includes leather, chains, and maybe a ball gag. No judgment.

Your freakiness is like your personal fingerprint, unique, interesting, and sometimes hard to explain in polite company. Own it. Love it. Share it with people who deserve to see it.

Step 3: Stop Apologizing for It

Do you know what’s not sexy? Apologizing for what you like. Imagine telling someone, “Sorry, I kind of like the idea of being blindfolded.” Why are you sorry? You didn’t just knock over a display of fine china at Target. Own it with confidence.

If someone doesn’t vibe with your particular brand of freakiness, that’s okay. They’re not your person. Move on and find your tribe, they’re out there, likely doing something wonderfully weird right now.

Step 4: Embrace the Funny Side

Let’s face it, getting in touch with your inner freak is not always a smooth ride. There will be awkward moments. Maybe you try a new toy and realize halfway through you have no idea how it works. Maybe you misinterpret “roleplay” and show up as a medieval knight while your partner’s rocking a nurse costume.

The point is: laugh it off. Freakiness is supposed to be fun, not a source of stress. Lean into the fun, it makes the journey even better.

Step 5: Freakiness is a Spectrum

You don’t have to be all in, all the time. Your freak might be subtle, like a pair of lacy underwear under your business suit, or it might be bold, like wearing that same lacy underwear… to brunch. Wherever you fall on the spectrum, own it unapologetically.

The world doesn’t need more carbon copy people pretending they’re all the same. It needs more people like you: freaky, fabulous, and maybe just a little unpredictable.

Step 6: Share Your Inner Freak Wisely

Not everyone is ready to handle your sparkle (or your cuffs, or your elaborate harness collection). Share it with people who respect you and who are just as excited about your quirks as you are. Whether it’s a partner, a friend, or a whole community, finding your people is a game changer.

Ok You’re a Freak, But Make It Fabulous

Your inner freak is a gift, not a burden. Stop hiding it, stop apologizing for it, and stop pretending it’s not there. Life is short: wear the lingerie, bring out the toys, and play that freaky playlist at full volume.

And hey, if anyone gives you a weird look, just smile and say, “It’s called owning it. You should try it sometime.”

So, what’s the first step in owning your inner freak? Share in the comments (if you dare). Let’s get weird together!
