Differences Are Beautiful

Differences among us all.

Differences Are Beautiful
Jessica Wayne

With so many people in the world, it's hard to think that anyone could be that different. Some of us share some pretty big similarities like what kind of music we like, the tv shows we watch, the clothing we wear, etc. It's very easy to see something that someone is doing or wearing and just think they're weird. Sometimes we do this without even knowing them. Judgments are made without a second thought, but that's just the way we are sometimes. The judgments that are worth the worry would be the ones where some think they are better than another human being. This thought could happen even if the person knows the other person that the thought is about.

The thought that one person is better than anyone else to me seems just absurd. Just because someone may not be good at math or even school does not even in the slightest mean that they are less of a person. It may not even mean that they are less intelligent overall, it most likely does not. Yeah, you may be better than them in a certain subject, but they may shine in something different.

No matter how much we think we know someone, there is still so much more to that person. We may not even know ourselves completely, so how does one expect to know everything about a complete stranger from a mere glance? There's just no way. Just because a boy plays sports and hangs out with friends all the time does not mean that that is all he likes to do. Just because a girl likes to dye her hair and always does her makeup does not mean that that is all she is. They both have their idiosyncrasies that makes them who they are, and that is something so unique and beautiful in their own way.

Our thoughts are what makes us so different in my opinion. Even if two people have the same thought on a subject it is still different. The different experiences both people had that resulted in their final thought on a subject is just so amazing. A friend and I could both say we liked dogs, but my reasoning compared to theirs would not be the same at all. For example, my reasoning could be because I have always had a dog in my life, and the dogs in my life are and were pretty amazing. Their reasoning could be because their aunt had a dog they would visit throughout the year on holidays. The two thoughts have similar subjects, but the experiences are completely different.

Being different in this world is definitely not a bad thing, because we are all different if you think about it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
