Sometimes, being “normal” is the hardest mask to wear. In Sochu: Stop Pretending You're normal. We meet kids with strange talents, secret passions, and hidden selves—until someone walks in, and they hide it all again. Why do we cover our quirks? Why do we silence our gifts the moment others are watching?
This lively, thoughtful tale reminds us that “different” isn’t something to hide—it’s something to celebrate. Sochu’s journey through surprise poetry readings, body-beat music, and spontaneous theatre makes us wonder: What magic are we hiding just to fit in? And how do we unlearn the habit of pretending?
Here are 12 breadcrumbs that explore authenticity, identity, and joyful weirdness:
