Too many people in this world strive to be perfect, please others, and to fit in. I don’t exactly do the opposite, but I strive to be different.
I’m not sure where I heard the saying when I was little, but “perfectly different” has always stuck to me. I’m not sure when or where I drilled it into my own brain that I needed to be different and that normal was boring, and ever since then I’ve been happy because of that.
I’ve never understood people who changed themselves for others, conformed to norms just to fit in, because where’s the happiness in that?
I’ve always taken pride in doing me and being different. Being happy with who I am and saying to hell with those who don’t accept me. I love being me, and being myself, and it just makes me even more happy and sure of those in my life who have accepted me.
Don’t try to fit in, don’t try to be perfect; just be you, be different.
Normal is boring.
