What's The Difference?

There is none.

What's The Difference?
Olive Tree Blog

Recently, I have figured out that I am very different than most people. I was not popular in high school and I was not that one person who gets all the girls or get scholarships. Did I shoot for these things? No. I was that guy who sat in the back of class and did not really talk to anyone. I did play sports but I was not that guy who dated every girl who came my way. I am not a republican nor democrat. I am the type of person who would rather just be on the outside looking in. I am the one who would rather use his head for creativity rather than reasoning. Music rather than science. I'm not that one person to pick religion. I am the person who would rather be optimistic, but I am depressed when I'm around others.

Everything in my life has been the opposite of many people. Even with my love life. Everyone wants a cheerleader or dancer. But I want a simple love life. My simple little life is the literal opposite of most people. I have always been intrigued by metal music, skeletons, and anything dark but also I am intrigued by bright colors and sitting in a place where everything is calm and I can relax. I would rather start a band than become an athlete in the NFL, NBA, or NHL. I would rather become good at playing the guitar rather than good at playing sports. I would rather have hundreds of thousands of instruments rather than hundreds of thousands of dollars. I have always been the one who never thought logically, but instead both musically and creatively.

Everyone does something else, and I do something different. Is that weird? I do not think so. I think in my own right I am amazing. Everyone has their own definition of being cool, popular or normal. Mine just so happens to be different than everyone else's definition. I'm that kid who just wants to have fun, but will have fun on his own terms. That does not mean I am a rebel, threat to everyone, or some guy who disobeys everything and just does things his way. I am an outcast but so what? Everyone is weird and everyone is cool, so the big question is very simple. Why am I so different?

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.
