What makes you different?

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

How do you know how physically attractive you actually are?

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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.

Where can I sell naked pics of myself online?

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

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?

What did Rama tell Sita about Kaliyug?

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

Why are many women so drawn or attracted to men that have been or are currently in prison and men that are involved in street life/illegal activities?

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.

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

What was it like being spanked as a kid?

Can you make it?

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

Why do people turn a blind eye to bad behaviour if someone is very good looking? Whereas if someone is ugly, they get harshly judged for everything?

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.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

What makes you YOU.

If Jesus was crucified by Governor Pontius Pilate, why does the Quran deny his death?

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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.

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

Why are right-wing commentators spreading conspiracy theories about Haitians eating local pets in Springfield, Ohio?

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

What is treasury?

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.

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.

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

Without experiments, is life worth it.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

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.

Why did my ex replace me so fast?

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

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

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

What if he’d come outside?

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.

What happened to your school bully?

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.

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

So, keep on experimenting.

Which document should be pointed out to a holocaust denier?

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.

Agree?

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
