Dare To Be Different

We strive for the norm. We don’t dare deviate, for fear of rejection from parent, peer, or schoolmate. If you do, you’ll be labeled weirdo, kook, or quack. People may point at you or talk behind your back. But what, exactly, defines normal, anyway? Is it in the way we look or in the things we say? Do we have a formula to measure by degrees the ability to “fit in” with the greatest of ease. But me, I don’t care if you think I’m a freak. I’d rather be myself than boring or meek. So you think I’m flaky? I’d prefer to say, I’m eccentric, quirky, and unique in every way! So don’t act your age. Go dye your hair blue. Have some fun, laugh out loud, and to yourself, be true!
