What makes you different?

Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.
He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
Have you ever witnessed political correctness harm someone?
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
Yes, I was not at all happy.
I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.
So, keep on experimenting.
Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.
Without experiments, is life worth it.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.
Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.
What should I do if a girl whom I love asks me to be her friend?
Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.
If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.
Why are people saying that Trump is fat when he is an athletic 6 foot 3 and 215 pounds?
I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.
I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.
Can you make it?
C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.
All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.
What makes you YOU.
Why are some people afraid of monsters?
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.
So, what actually makes us all different?
You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.
P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?
Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.
Agree?

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.
Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.
Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.
Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.
Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.
Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?
Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.
Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.
