Dear Max,

Talk to the wallflowers, the outliers and the people that nobody else is interested in.

Talk to the weirdoes, the eccentrics, the loners, the freaks and the geeks.

Talk to the ugly, the scary and the disinterested.

These are the most interesting people with the most original thought.

These are the people that need friends too.

These are the people that will change the world.

Love,

Dad

PS: And, by the way, labels on people are in the eye of the beholder. In school, I was labeled by the seemingly ‘cool kids’ as more than one of these.
