Hey, you.
Yeah you, the one reading some strangers random posts.
If you have tolerated all my ramblings so far up to this point, you have likely considered yourself very different from the others around you at some point (that, or you're just very curious about how people think and I happen to be an open specimen).
And you know what? Who cares if you didn't notice how Lin did her eyebrows a bit too thick this morning, who cares if you're not that one chick who knows about everyone else's life?
Why, would you be improving your well-being by seeing the fault in other people? By listening to gossip and having all ears to hear all the dramatic stories of other people? Do you even have the time to do that?
I bet not. Because I bet you are busy introspecting the relationship between you and the world, planning to achieve the dreams you wanted to have, inspiring yourself to move forward and take the path less taken.
Why should you sacrifice creating a life you love for the relationships you are not even sure will last for long-term? Why look at the people around you and decide you want to be accepted by them just because you're scared no one will ever understand you?
Thing is, the more true you are to yourself, the more specific the qualities you'll look for in people you want to form friendships with. And that is totally okay. It's just that it is going to require patience to find these people. The people who value the same things as you do, the people who crave to connect instead of pulling others down just so they couldn't feel bad about not trying to climb up themselves.
You see, when I was talking to a friend of mine on the phone, she made me realize that there are people who did not like thinking. They prefer to go along with what the society tells them to do and maybe it's because they are scared of failure, maybe because they value fitting in more than the ruckus you create by standing out. That made things clearer to me.
People do not think the same way as I do. I like questioning things and my emotions. I like knowing why people do what they do and that's what I always find myself doing. It's normal for me to do everyday. And others are simply happy about following with the life and persona that was given to them when they were born into this planet. And that is okay too.
I guess, what I want you to know is that if you're someone who questions situations, things and events, you are more likely to feel as if you're alone. You definitely are not. There are just less people willing to ponder about how life works. You shouldn't feel bad for that. You are exceptional. Keep doing what you love, keep exploring and you will be able to find people who think similar to you.
