“Always remember that you are absolutely unique.
Just like everyone else.”
Margaret Mead

 

When I was a kid I hated that I was different. I had a hard time fitting in. I just didn’t think about or like all the things the other kids did. I thought there was something wrong with me.  I wanted to be like everyone else.  Then I did this thing called growing up. Like everyone, I did the expected, worked, paid bills and behaved myself.  Being like everyone else and fitting in was so boring! I didn’t like it. I was happier being different…being me.

As an adult, I am a lot like everyone else but I have learned it’s okay to be the different me, too.  Took awhile and a few missteps before I found my place.  My way of life works for me though many may think I am a bit odd. For the most part, I follow the rules but if  I think they are dumb rules I ignore them and do my own thing. I may not be happier than a lot of people but I think I am more content than most. Works for me.

Are you uniquely you and who you want to be?
Is it important that you fit in?
