I like not being normal, or what people consider conforming normality, the title of this post says something about me, if you asked me to choose between a Banana,Mango,or a Ostrich egg I'd choose the ostrich egg, why? you ask, not because i want to show that i'm different but because i am, hey look at the photo's i take, I sometimes cringe when i see how every one latches on to the next fad the next new way of butchering the english language, or dressing so they can be like everyone else on pluto.
Different is good, different means you have originality, imagination, and vision anyone can be like everyone else but no one can be like you if you choose to be you. That means knowing what you like to do , knowing what you don't like to do , never giving any one the power to make you feel like you don't matter, and what you find interesting is stupid. Those idiots will only amount to being only what the herd wants them be, but some one with imagination can be so much more.
Remember its easy to walk down the yellow brick road with everyone else to get to the Emerald City, but if you took a different road, and caught a cab you'd get their quicker,( Honestly, I have no Idea what the above statment even means, I just thought it, and wrote it).
Any way your a unique entity, you've got a lot to offer with out being someone else, you may say this is you talking," but I'm boring my best friend says we should dress like JLO,or wear our hair like brad pitt", Fly crap! If everyone decided to be like every celebrity as far as dressing, and behavior this world which is all ready skrewed up would be even more skrewed and beyond help, everyone has something to offer as themselve's you don't need to be a cardboard cut out of someone else.
You know the reason why so many people don't know their selfworth its because no one knows what it means any more, important words with real definitions have been thrown around so casually, no one knows what they really mean anymore, Self worth is more than feeling good about yourself,or respecting others, having empathy for other people,SKREW THAT!, thats not self worth, Self worth is knowing your gifts, and talents, cultivating your abilities, knowing who you are and what you can do respecting,and appreciating who you are, what you can, and can not do,because you have to have, and know that their are bounderies in order to be a complete person who knows their self worth.
One of the Ancient greek thinkers once said "Know thy self," knowing who you are is the key to knowing just how originally, unique you are, its like this other blogger i follow she's very unique i hope she doesn't loose that originality the blog is called Pen name Bree-Z she's very talented and she's finding her voice, and self worth, so can evry one else , you don't have to be another link in the chain.- Jac!
Thanks For the mention, Jac, and your powerful words mean a lot to me :) I do enjoy being different, At times I do find myself wishing I had more in common with other people, but you are right, I'm different, and there is nothing wrong with that. Keep on writing,
