be different





be different!! isn´t that what we always should become, different and unique? find your true self and stand out from the crowd! but did you ever think about what it actually means to be really different, to be so different that you are not a member of most crowds at all? well, what defines difference? mostly when you are younger you try to dress different, listen to different music and go to unique places. but since everybody is doing so and you only adjust to your most favorite crowd it is in the end not very unique i guess. and sooner or later this just goes back to "normal". unless you really think more or less different and truly stand out. when you are older you can be as unique as you want to but if you are not familiar with society rules you are lost and it actually gets harder to be accepted and not left alone. so the truth is we are all so common and that is exactly what society wants us to be because nobody wants to be alone. it is tough to deal with a person who is truly uncommon and doesn´t act the way you expect it. but guess what: that´s what makes it so special. it makes the world a little less round and a little more edgy and interesting and lovely. i wish those people wouldn´t need to be so afraid of rejection and avoidance, i wish everyone would appreciate difference as something really special and would have closer look before judging. because sometimes you find these jewels that are so much more than just "different". 
d stands for difference! happy birthday ... i am really happy that i met you. you made a difference in my life.
