A Unique Individual

Uniqueness is severely attractive to me.

It can be music, writing, art, fashion, or people; I find it rediculously amazing to stumble upon things that are...different.

I think it might be because I see it in myself.
Being different is something that I always just fell into; not fitting in has been my forte.

What a great thing to be remembered for right?

When I asked Eric why I didn't feel like I related to anyone he said,

"You're a unique individual, you have alot of mismatched qualities that people don't think would fit together...but they do. People just don't understand your layers of personality."

I found it odd at the time, unsure as to whether this was a good or a bad thing. Sure, teachers and various motivational speakers say that "everyone is unique, we are all individuals, etc, etc, etc."

but although I hate to admit it, soceity demands you to fit in. Success lies in that action. Breaking the standard, or thinking outside the box is only rewarded if you can justify yourself, and prove to the world that you aren't as off your rocker as they judge you to be...

but that is really alot harder then it sounds.

The world won't accomodate to you, so you must simply accomodate to it. You bend your ways just enough to get by, you find small groups of people that relate to you just enough to befriend you, and you get by.

This isn't really as sad as it sounds, if you're like me and see uniqueness as an attractive quality then this is a happy living. That, and as individualistic as I want myself to be, there are hundreds of others out there like me...

So on the bright side, I'm not alone.
